Abstract
In the case of a product (1) having a first product sub-part (4) and a second product sub-part (3), the two product sub-parts (3, 4) each comprise two connection zones (8, 9, 10, 11) consisting of metal and of suitably thin construction for a crimping process and the connection zones (8, 9, 10, 11) are connected together in pairs by means in each case of a crimp connection, in which the connection zones (10, 11) of at least one product sub-part (3) exhibit the remnants (16), remaining after performance of the crimping process, of elevations (17) present prior to performance of the crimping process.
Claims7
An inlet for use in a transponder for contactless communication, comprising:
- a first product sub-part and a second product sub-part,
- in which the first product sub-part comprises a connection zone consisting of metal and of suitably thin construction for a crimping process and
- in which the second product sub-part comprises a counter-connection zone consisting of metal and of suitably thin construction for a crimping process, wherein one of the first product sub-part and the second product sub-part includes elevations to be pressed against the other of the first product sub-part and the second product sub-part, and
- in which the connection zone and the counter-connection zone are connected together by means of a crimp connection formed by the performance of a crimping process that alters the elevations to obtain remnants, and
- in which, of the connection zone and the counter-connection zone, at least one of these two connections zones comprises the remnants, remaining after the performance of the crimping process, of the elevations present prior to the performance of the crimping process, which remnants lie between the two connection zones.
A transponder for contactless communication with a communications station, comprising:
- a transponder body;
- an inlet embedded in a transponder body including a film and a bridge;
- a transmission coil supported by the film and including a plurality of windings, the transmission coil having a connection zone;
- the bridge has a counter-connection zone;
- and
- the counter-connection zone consists of metal having elevations crimped against the connection zone and remnants, the remnants establish a mechanical and electrical connection between the connection zone and the counter-connection zone.
