Abstract
A retainer for accommodating an electronic component, in particular a sensor, including a main body or a main body element, which comes in contact with the electronic component, and is composed of a main body material. The retainer further includes a transition layer, which is connected to the main body and a thermoplastic connecting layer or a first connecting element, which is connected to the transition layer. The thermoplastic connecting layer is designed such that the thermoplastic connecting layer can be brought into a reversible mechanical/physical connection to a contact element or a second connecting element by a preceding partial melting process.
Claims28
A main body element including
- a first connecting element formed such that it can be reversibly connected to a second connecting element, wherein at least the first or the second connecting element is a thermoplastic connecting element and can be reversibly connected to the respectively other connecting element by a preceding partial melting process.
An elastomer component comprising:
- a base body of a base body material, and
- at least a second connecting element with each a connection side and a contact side, wherein the connection side faces the base body and the contact side is provided on the opposing side of the second connecting element, wherein
- the second connecting element is connected to the elastomer component via the connection side and
- the second connecting element is formed such that it can be reversibly connected to a first connecting element, wherein at least the first or the second connecting element is a thermoplastic connecting element and can be reversibly connected to the respectively other connecting element by a preceding partial melting operation.
