Abstract
A connection coupling forms a line connection for liquid or gaseous substances to microcomponents (1) in platelet form. A coupling body (2), which is substantially U-shaped in cross section, accommodates the edge of the plate-like microcomponent (1) between an upper limb plate (3), which has the line connection (14), and a lower limb plate (5). An edge web (6) forms a transverse stop for an edge (8) of the microcomponent (1). A further stop means, for example a lug (9), forms a longitudinal stop for positioning of the microcomponents (1).

Connection coupling microcomponents in plate form, having at least one line connection for liquid or gaseous substances, characterized in that a coupling body (2), which is substantially U-shaped, in an upper limb plate (3) has a threaded bore (4), which accommodates the line connection (14), in that an edge web (6) connects the upper limb plate (3) in a flexurally rigid manner to a lower limb plate (5) which is arranged parallel to and at a distance from the upper limb plate so as to form a U-shaped body, and in that stop means are provided by a surface (6a) on the edge web (6) for the purpose of positioning a plate microcomponent (1), which can be accommodated between the upper limb plate (3) and the lower limb plate (5).
A connection coupling a tube conveying fluids through a line hole in a plate microcomponent adjacent to an edge of the plate microcomponent, the connection coupling comprising:
- a U-shaped body defined by a pair of limbs connected at one end to one another by an edge engaging wall, wherein the plate microcomponent fits between the two limbs with an edge of the plate microcomponent in abutment with the edge engaging wall, and
- a threaded bore through one of the limbs for receiving a threaded end of a tube coupling, the threaded bore being in alignment with a line hole in the plate microcomponent.
