Device for attaching and contacting an electrical component and method for manufacturing the device
First Claim
1. A device for attaching and contacting an electrical component having at least two contact surfaces which are electrically contactable via associated busbars, the device comprising:
- at least one connecting element connecting a contact point of the electrical component to an associated busbar, wherein the at least one connecting element has (i) a first end which forms a mounting for the electrical component and establishes an electrical connection to the contact point of the electrical component in the mounting, the mounting including a portion located between the electrical component and the busbar, and (ii) a second end which is held on the busbar and is electrically connected to the busbar.

Abstract
A device for attaching and contacting an electrical component, e.g., a sensor device, includes: at least two contact points which are electrically contactable via associated busbars, a contact point of the component being connected to the associated busbar via a respective connecting element, which at its respective free first end forms a mounting for the component and establishes the electrical connection to the contact point of the component in the mounting, and which at its respective second end is held on the busbar and is electrically connected thereto.

11. A method for attaching and contacting an electrical component having at least two contact surfaces which are electrically contactable via associated busbars, using a device including at least two connecting elements each connecting a contact point of the electrical component to an associated busbar, wherein each one of the at least two connecting elements has (i) a first end which forms a shared mounting for the electrical component and establishes an electrical connection to the contact point of the electrical component in the mounting, and (ii) a second end which is held on the busbar and is electrically connected to the busbar, the method comprising:
-
initially connecting the second ends of the at least two connecting elements to the busbars; and subsequently inserting the electrical component into the shared mounting formed by the at least two connecting elements so that a portion of the mounting is located between the electrical component and the busbars. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14)
