Abstract
An electrical busbar device is disclosed. The busbar device includes an electrically conductive busbar for being flowed through by an electric current. At least one contacting element structured separately with respect to the busbar is provided. The contacting element is connected electrically and mechanically to the busbar. The contacting element is electrically conductive for connecting the busbar to a circuit board. The contacting element is fastened to the busbar via a screw connection and electrically connected to the busbar.
Claims20
An electrical busbar device, comprising
- an electrically conductive busbar for being flowed through by an electric current;
- at least one contacting element structured separately with respect to the busbar and connected electrically and mechanically to the busbar, the at least one contacting element structured to be electrically conductive for connecting the busbar to a circuit board;
- and
- wherein the at least one contacting element is fastened to the busbar via a screw connection and electrically connected to the busbar.
An arrangement, comprising:
- at least one circuit board,
- at least one busbar device, the at least one busbar device including:
- an electrically conductive busbar for being flowed through by an electric current;
- at least one contacting element structured separately with respect to the busbar and connected electrically and mechanically to the busbar, the at least one contacting element structured to be electrically conductive for connecting the busbar to the at least one circuit board;
- wherein the at least one contacting element is fastened to the busbar via a screw connection and electrically connected to the busbar;
- and
- wherein the at least one contacting element is electrically connected to the at least one circuit board via a solder connection.
A method for producing an arrangement, the method comprising:
- a) fastening at least one contacting element of a busbar device via a solder connection to a circuit board, so that the at least one contacting element after the fastening is electrically connected to the circuit board, and
- b) electrically and mechanically connecting the at least one contacting element fastened to the circuit board to an electrical busbar of the busbar device via a screw connection.
