Electric component and method for producing same
First Claim
1. An electronic component, comprising:
- a housing part formed with a supporting surface and an annular gap disposed adjacent said supporting surface;
a component support having a first main side, a second main side opposite said first main side, and a conductor path structure;
said component support being disposed with said second main side on said supporting surface of said housing part and connected to said housing part via at least one securing element;
said conductor path structure having, in a region of said securing element, an interruption, by way of which a connection section of said conductor path structure is galvanically separated from a main section of said conductor path structure;
a plurality of electronic components arranged on said first main side of said component support and electrically connected to one another by way of said main section of said conductor path structure; and
a heat-conductive, insulating layer arranged in sections between said component support and said housing part in order to remove heat from said component support via said housing part, said heat-conductive, insulating layer disposed in said annular gap of said housing part;
wherein said connection section is electrically conductively connected to said housing part;
when said securing element secures said component support on said housing part, said securing element bridges said interruption electrically and produces an electrically conductive connection between said main section of said conductor path structure, which main section is otherwise galvanically separated from the housing part, and said housing part by way of the electric bridging of the interruption between said connection section and said main section by said securing element.

Abstract
An electric component has a housing part and a component support which is provided with a conductor path structure. The conductor path structure has an interruption, by which a connection section of the conductor path structure is galvanically separated from a main section of the conductor path structure. The component support is arranged on the housing part such that a heat-conductive connection is produced between the component support and the housing part. The main section remains galvanically separated from the housing part. The electric resistance between the main section of the conductor path structure and the housing part is measured. The component support is secured to the housing part by a securing element. The interruption is electrically bridged by the securing element and the main section is electrically conductively connected to the housing component.
