Abstract
An induction coil assembly for an induction cooking hob has a coil winding, a lower electrically isolating sheet and optionally a thermally insulating sheet. The induction coil assembly further includes a carrier plate for supporting the lower electrically isolating sheet, the coil winding and the thermally insulating sheet. At least two power cables are provided for each coil winding. The power cables are at least partially arranged at a bottom side of the carrier plate and act as spring elements, so that the induction coil assembly can be pressed or is pressed against a glass ceramic panel of the induction cooking hob.
