  • Patent number: 10236607
    Abstract: A contacting device having a carrier and at least one contacting unit, wherein the carrier has a bottom side and a top side, the top side of the carrier having a plurality of mutually insulated conductive tracks, the contacting unit having a plurality of contact elements that at least partially are formed of an electrically conductive material and in each case are mutually electrically insulated, each contact element along a longitudinal axis being composed of at least one fixing section and a contacting portion adjoining the fixing section, each fixing section being supported on the top side of the carrier, having a first contact surface and being positively and conductively connected to one of the conductive tracks, each contacting portion having a distance to the top side varying between zero and a maximum distance.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 16, 2017
    Date of Patent: March 19, 2019
    Assignee: TDK-Micronas GmbH

  • Patent number: 9780470
    Abstract: A contact device system having a plate-shaped carrier and at least five accommodating areas are disposed on a bottom side of the pressing unit, at least five accommodating areas and at least five contact area pairs are disposed on a top side of the carrier. The contact area pairs each have a first and second electrically conductive contact area, and in each case the first contact area is spaced apart from the second contact area and insulated electrically therefrom. The first and second contact areas have a functional electrical connection to an evaluation circuit via a trace section. The carrier has a plurality of accommodating areas for a packaged electronic component, that each have one of the at least five contact area pairs. The electronic components have at least two terminal contacts, whereby after accommodation of the packaged electronic components, the terminal contacts of the particular component are pressed down.
