Abstract
The invention relates to a motor vehicle component support, in particular a motor vehicle door lock (1), and to a method for the production thereof. Said motor vehicle component support is equipped with a strip conductor structure (3) composed of several strip conductors (7). According to the invention, the strip conductor structure (3) comprises at least two conductor strip sub-structures (3a, 3b) which are electrically interconnected by means of at least one connecting element (8) which is applied later.
Claims10
A motor vehicle door lock housing comprising:
- a first strip conductor that extends in a first plane within the housing;
- a second strip conductor that extends in a second plane within the housing, the second plane being spaced and separate from the first plane, wherein the first plane and the second plane are vertically stacked;
- and
- a connecting element that extends between the first plane and the second plane, the connecting element having a mechanical connection between the connecting element and each of the first strip conductor and the second strip conductor that also provides electrical contact between the connecting element and each of the first strip conductor and the second strip conductor for mechanically and electrically connecting the first strip conductor and the second strip conductor.
A method of forming a motor vehicle door housing, the method comprising:
- inserting a first strip conductor in a recess of an electrically insulating carrier element, wherein the first strip conductor extends in a first plane;
- inserting a second strip conductor in the recess, wherein the second strip conductor extends in a second plane spaced from the first plane, wherein the first plane and the second plane are vertically stacked;
- and
- electrically and mechanically connecting the first strip conductor and the second strip conductor with a connecting element that extends between the first plane and the second plane, the connecting element having a mechanical connection between the connecting element and each of the first strip conductor and the second strip conductor that also provides electrical contact between the connecting element and each of the first strip conductor and the second strip conductor.
