Abstract
A conductor track which is designed in particular for use with ultrasonic welding. The invention also relates to an associated method and to an associated use.
Claims20
An electrical conductor track, comprising:
- a contact location, which is designed to be connected to an electrical contact by ultrasonic welding,
- a bonding location, which is designed to bond a bonding wire onto the conductor track, and
- at least one ultrasonic wave interruption element, which, when ultrasound is coupled in at the contact location, attenuates a propagation of ultrasonic waves from the contact location to the bonding location.
A method for connecting an electrical conductor track to an electrical contact, which has the following steps comprising:
- providing an electrical conductor track, on which a contact location and a bonding location are formed,
- applying an electrical contact to the contact location of the electrical conductor track, and
- coupling ultrasound in at the contact location for the purpose of connecting the electrical contact to the electrical conductor track,
- wherein a propagation of ultrasonic waves to the bonding location is reduced by a number of ultrasonic wave interruption elements formed in the conductor track.
The use of ultrasonic welding to connect an electrical contact to an electrical conductor track, wherein a propagation of ultrasonic waves to a bonding location of the conductor track is reduced by at least one ultrasound wave interruption element.
