Claim:
1. An interface component, comprising a front wall with a front side including a plurality of fixed symbol fields and with a rear side, individual electrodes associated with the symbol fields, which electrodes are arranged at the rear side of the front wall, and a carrier plate facing the rear side of the front wall, which carrier plate is arranged in spaced relationship to the front wall, wherein between the front wall and the carrier plate, carrier elements associated with the individual symbol fields are arranged, each carrier element includes an electrode end facing the rear side of the front wall, which electrode end is provided with an associated one of the individual electrodes, and an opposite contact end electrically contacting a contact field of the carrier plate, and the electrode end of each carrier element includes a protruding contact edge extending at least partially around the symbol field associated with the carrier element and abutting on the rear side of the front wall, wherein each of the associated electrodes extends from the contact edge of the carrier element to the electrode end, and wherein each carrier element includes an electrically conducting area providing electrical connection of the contact edge with the contact field of the carrier plate.
