Abstract:
An electrical contact system, as a component of a touch panel (18), for a plurality of pressure sensors (19), which are to be electrically contacted from different contact sides (13,14) thereof, comprising spaced-apart contact areas (24, 25) on a component side (22) of a flexible circuit board (11), a first of said contact areas (25) being bent around a bendable area (52) on the circuit board (11) over a second of said contact areas (24) to respectively make an electrical contact with opposite electrically conductive contact areas (48, 49) located on contact sides (13, 14) of each of the pressure sensors (19), and wherein the pressure sensors (19) form corners of the circuit board (11) when the pressure sensors (19) are in a contacting mode.
