Abstract:
1. A production method for a contact mat for electrical contacting of an actuator, comprising the following steps of: providing a contact mat roll including (a) a plurality of terminal posts spaced apart from each other and extending in a first direction and (b) a plurality of electrically-conductive wires extending parallel to each other in a second direction generally perpendicular to the first direction, such that each wire extends across the plurality of terminal posts; unwinding the contact mat roll; connecting the plurality of wires to a first metallization strip of an actuator; separating the plurality of wires at a location between adjacent terminal posts in the mat, such that a first contact mat, including a first terminal post and the plurality of wires extending from the first metallization strip to the first terminal post, is connected to the actuator; and winding a free end of the first contact mat including the terminal first post at least partially around the actuator and securing the first terminal post in position relative to the actuator.
