Abstract
An electrical component is specified with a sensor element, which is embedded in a plate arrangement. The plate arrangement includes at least three plates and conductor tracks, which are located between them and are conductively connected with the sensor element. At least two of the conductor tracks have exposed areas. Furthermore, a method for the encapsulation of a sensor element and a method for the production of a plate arrangement are specified.
Claims23
An electrical component comprising:
- a plate arrangement;
- and
- a sensor element embedded in the plate arrangement;
- wherein the plate arrangement comprises first, second and third plates over one another and a first conductor track located between the first and second plates and a second conductor track located between the second and third plates, the first and second conductor tracks being electrically connected with the sensor element, wherein both the first and second conductor tracks have exposed areas.

An electrical component comprising:
- a plate arrangement;
- and
- a sensor element enclosed in the plate arrangement;
- wherein the plate arrangement comprises two outer plates and a middle plate between the two outer plates, each plate including a conductor track disposed on a surface thereof;
- and
- wherein the sensor element is electrically connected with the conductor track of the middle plate via the conductor track of the outer plate, said conductor track being located on an inside surface of the outer plate facing the middle plate.

A method of forming an electrical component, the method comprising:
- providing a sensor element, an upper plate, a middle plate and a lower plate, each plate having a conductor track disposed thereon;
- attaching the lower and the middle plates;
- inserting the sensor element into an opening of the middle plate, wherein the sensor element is electrically connected to the conductor track of the lower plate;
- attaching the upper plate to the middle plate so that the sensor element is enclosed among the plates, wherein a conductor track that is located on an internal surface of the upper plate is electrically connected to the conductor track of the middle plate and to the sensor element.
