Electrical bridging device for bridging electrical components, in particular an energy source or an energy consumer

Electrical bridging device, comprising:

• at least one first and one second electrical conductor which are electrically isolated from each other and arranged such that at least one first surface region of the first conductor orientated in a spatial direction is separated by a gap from at least one second surface region of the second conductor orientated in the same spatial direction,
• the first and second surface regions are each covered with a layer consisting of an electrically conductive material, which has a lower melting point than the electrical conductors, and
• a reactive layer in which an exothermic reaction can be triggered is arranged above the two layers of electrically conductive material,
• wherein the gap between the two surface regions is selected and the reactive layer is dimensioned and arranged in such manner that the two layers composed of the electrically conductive material fuse at the gap due to the thermal energy emitted during the exothermic reaction of reactive layer, and as a result an electrical connection is established between the electrical conductors.
