The invention discloses an arrangement for mechanically and electrically contacting a glow wire of a thermal radiation source, comprising a glow wire made of refractory metal having at least one flat connection surface to be contacted, a contact surface on which the glow wire is contacted, and a contacting means which connects the glow wire to the contact surface. The invention also relates to a method for producing the contact according to the invention. The problem addressed by the invention, of providing a reliable and enduringly stable mechanical and electrical contact of glow wires made of refractory metals, is solved in that the flat connection surface has at least two perforations and/or at a circumferential edge of the connection surface of the glow wire at least two recesses are formed, wherein the contacting means is integrally connected to the contact surface at the location of the perforations and/or recesses and forms both an electrical and a mechanical connection to the glow wire at the location of the perforations and/or recesses by means of a flange-like design of the contacting means above the connection surface of the glow wire.
An arrangement for mechanical and electrical contacting of an incandescent wire of a thermal radiation source, comprising an incandescent wire made of refractory metal having at least one flat connection surface to be contacted, a contact surface on which the incandescent wire is contacted and a contacting medium which joins the incandescent wire to the contact surface, wherein the flat connection surface of the incandescent wire has at least two perforations and/or a circumferential edge of the connection surface of the incandescent wire has at least two cutouts, wherein the contacting medium is joined to the contact surface with an atomic-level join at the site of the perforations and/or cutouts and through a flange-like configuration of the contacting medium above the connection surface of the incandescent wire at the site of the perforations, and/or cutouts forms both an electrical and a mechanical connection with the incandescent wire.
