High Current Component

Abstract

A functional electronics unit for a high current component which is provided for electrical and mechanical connection to a circuit board or to another mechanical carrier substrate for a circuit grouping or circuit, with conductor tracks, conductive surface elements and/or other conductive regions and contacts, the functional electronics unit having electronic components which are designed to measure properties of the electric current flowing through the component or of an electric voltage applied to the component or to perform another electronic functionality, is characterized in that the functional electronics unit is retained on the high current component or on a common carrier. More particularly, the functional electronics unit can be integrated into the high current components and/or can be pushed onto the high current component in a modular fashion or can be fixed on the high current component.
