Abstract: An acceleration sensor having a piezoelectric sensor element, which is supported as a flexural resonator in a holding module and whose electrodes are connected to an evaluation circuit. The holding module mechanically fixes the sensor element in position and provides, at the same time, for its electrical contacting.

Abstract: In a method, which permits the application of porous plates inside of multilayered ceramic structures, dense regions are formed in the edge areas of the porous plates. The dense regions prevent fluids, gases and vapors from penetrating to the inside of the multilayered ceramic structure.

Abstract: A mounting unit for a multilayer hybrid circuit having power components provides improved heat dissipation from the power components. The mounting unit includes a thermally conductive substrate board on which the multilayer hybrid circuit is mounted, the substrate board including a ceramic board that is coated with copper film.

Abstract: In a method for producing a multilayer circuit, it is possible to produce capacitor structures including electrodes and a dielectric arranged in between. By pressing the capacitor structures into a ceramic layer, it is possible to produce a high-quality capacitor inside the multilayer circuit.

Abstract: A connection arrangement with PC board features a ceramic substrate glued to a base plate of metal, used as a cooling body. Islands have been hollowed out of the adhesive layer and are filled with thermally conductive paste. Particularly effective thermal dissipation is possible in the area of the islands filled with thermally conductive paste, so that the islands are always disposed underneath components with great energy or heat dissipation.

Abstract: A support for sensor elements, especially temperature, throughflow or chemical sensors, comprises a supporting element composed of a ceramic material and having at least one throughgoing opening, a thin ceramic foil arranged on the supporting element so as to cover the opening to support a sensor element in the region of the opening.

Abstract: An electrical circuit unit, particularly for motor vehicles, features a grounded housing (1) and a printed circuit board (2) which, for protection against incoming and outgoing radiation of electrical noise, is short-circuited at high frequencies to the grounded housing. For this purpose, a noise suppression capacitor (6) on the PC board (2) is connected in series to a second capacitor. This second capacitor is formed by a metallized surface (8) on the board (2) and a metal-filled adhesive, as a first plate, a metal inner surface (11) of the housing (1) as a second plate, and an intermediate passivation or eloxal layer serving as a dielectric (13). The metal-filled adhesive acts to electrically bridge most of the gap between the metallized surface (8) and the housing surface (11), thereby capacitively coupling the metal-filled adhesive to the housing (1) and increasing the capacitance.

Abstract: The holder (1) for an electronic component (20), especially a hybrid module, is preferably a unitary plastic element having an elongated base plate (2) formed with openings (14) therein to permit insertion of terminal pins or lugs (21) projecting from the component therethrough. Two holder arms (30) project from the base plate, the holder arms having module support portions (3) and oppositely projecting posts (4). The posts fit into receiving openings (26, 27) of a printed circuit board, which receiving openings having a spacing (S) which is greater than the distance (D) between the posts so that, upon insertion of the posts in the openings the arms (30) will tilt towards each other, thus clamping a module, typically in card or board form, between the module support (3) of the arms.

Abstract: A calibratable voltage divider made by thin-film or thick-film technology formed by a flat film is an ohmic voltage divider resistor connected to have current flow through it. At least one tap is provided to tap off a desired divider voltage. The ohmic voltage divider resistor includes a single, coherent first resistance zone (10), which has one area for supplying current and another for taking current away, each being connected with a respective connection conductor (11, 12). The tap is made in the form of a second resistance zone (13) connected with the first resistance zone (10) between the current supply, and current drainage areas, and a take-off electrode (14) is attached to the second resistance zone (13). As needed, one or two cuts (16, 17), which intersect the equipotential lines are made to partially separate the second resistance (13) from the resistor (10) zone extended far enough that the potential attains the desired value at the take-off electrode (14) of the tap.
