  • Patent number: 7759610
    Abstract: The invention relates to a heating assembly comprising at least one PTC element, in particular for a motor vehicle. According to the invention, the PTC element (2) is positioned between metal sheets (3, 4), which are used to make electrical contact, said sheets (3, 4) and the PTC element (2) are bonded by means of an adhesive (5) and the adhesive (5) has a minimum specific electrical resistance of 50 ohms×cm and a maximum specific electrical resistance of 500 ohms×cm. In addition, solder can be used as an alternative to the adhesive (5).
