Abstract: A method for electrically contacting an electrical component (5a) to at least one conductor track (4) of a flat cable (1) with the following method steps: a) The insulating layer (2) of the flat cable (1) is removed from a conductor section (6) of the conductor track (4). b) The stripped conductor section (6) is severed to form two separate sub-sections (10a, 10b). c) The component (5a) is positioned on a contact segment (11a, 11b) of at least one sub-section (10a, 10b). d) The component (5a) is electrically contacted to the contact segments (11a, 11b) of the sub-sections (10a, 10b).

Abstract: The present invention relates to an arrangement (7) for protection of an electrical device. In this case, the device is connected via one pole terminal (4) to one pole (3) of a battery (1) . A protective contact unit (9) has a connecting section (10) which is connected directly to the pole terminal (4), and has a starting assistance contact section (11) which is connected to the connecting section (10) via a switch (12). An evaluation circuit (15) operates the switch (12) in order to disconnect the electrical connection between the starting assistance contact section (11) and the connecting section (10) as soon as the evaluation circuit (15) detects a fault current.
