Abstract
A feed-through is provided that includes a flange and a first functional component. The flange has a through-opening in which the first functional component is arranged and is connected to the flange such that the through-opening is sealed. The first functional component has at least one deformation region, in which a recess is provided such that the mechanical stability of the first functional component is reduced in the deformation region. In this manner, the first functional element can be deformed in the deformation area when mechanical load is applied.
Claims17
A feed-through comprising:
- a flange having a through-opening with an inner wall;
- and
- a first functional component arranged within the through-opening and connected to the flange such that the through-opening is sealed,
- the first functional component being formed substantially from at least one metal and having at least one deformation region that is deformable when mechanical load is applied, and
- the at least one deformation region being formed by at least one recess that locally penetrates through the first functional component or reduces a material thickness thereof such that a mechanical stability of the first functional component is reduced in the at least one deformation region.
