Abstract:
A component for an electrical bonding of a meter, said meter having at least two contact elements to be electrically bonded by soldered joints to a printed-circuit board having at least two contact surfaces on one side, wherein a substrate (6) has a number of contact bridges (7) which correspond to the number of contact elements (2) of the meter (1), wherein each contact bridge (7) has a first and a second soldering tag (8, 9) disposed essentially at a right angle to each other and of which the first soldering tag (8) can be inserted through the printed-circuit board (3) in order to provide a joint for soldering with the contact surface (4) of the printed-circuit board (3), and the second soldering tag (9) has an opening (11) for receiving one of the contact elements (2) of the meter (1), and wherein, on a side of the printed-circuit board (3) which is remote from the contact surfaces (4), the substrate (6) bears against the printed-circuit board (3) and holds the contact bridges (7) in a fixed spatial relationship corresponding to a contact-element arrangement of the meter (1).
