Abstract: An electrical contact element for mating with a mating contact includes at least one elastically deflectable spring element which has at least one contact point for contacting the mating contact and is designed to generate a contact force acting on the mating contact during operation, at least one section made of a shape memory material being integrated into the at least one contact element, which can be transformed from a first into a second shape depending on the temperature, wherein the at least one contact point in the force-free state of the contact element is located in the first shape of the section made of a shape memory material at a first contact position and in the second shape of the section made of a shape memory material at a second contact position. The contact element is able to reliably hold a mating contact even under difficult environmental conditions, to provide a low contact resistance and to be easily mated with the mating contact.

Abstract: An electronic component includes a circuit carrier unit and a housing at least partly encompassing the circuit carrier unit. The circuit carrier unit has an electronic element assembled on the circuit carrier unit. The circuit carrier unit has a first section and a second section arranged at a distance from the first section and opposing the first section. The housing has a first receiving portion receiving the first section and a second receiving portion receiving the second section. The first receiving portion and the second receiving portion are separated from each other by a cooling clearance.

Abstract: The invention relates to a connection device (100, 101, 102, 103) for a solar module (400), the connection device (100, 101, 102, 103) having a housing (110, 111, 112, 113) and a contacting means (180), arranged in the housing (110, 111, 112, 113), for contacting a contact element (430) of the solar module (400). The connection device (100, 101, 102, 103) is distinguished by a blind mating connector (120, 150) arranged on the housing (110, 111, 112, 113) without an electrical connection to the contacting means (180), onto which connector a plug-and-socket connector (220, 250) can be plugged. The invention furthermore relates to a solar module with such a connection device (100, 101, 102, 103).
