Abstract:
1. A component, comprising: an integrated circuit that includes one or more contacts; a housing body encapsulating the integrated circuit; a wiring device arrangement disposed below and fixed to the integrated circuit and the housing body; a plurality of contact devices disposed below the wiring device arrangement for providing electrical contact between the wiring device arrangement and a carrier plate, wherein the wiring device arrangement is adapted to produce an electrical connection between the one or more contacts of the integrated circuit and the plurality of contact devices; and a first and second group of contact devices of the plurality of contact devices that define an intermediate zone between the first and second group of contact devices that overlaps an edge of the integrated circuit, wherein a minimum distance between the first and second group of contact devices is greater than a distance between mutually adjacent contact devices of the first and second group of contact devices, respectively, and wherein the intermediate zone comprises contact devices that form contacts redundant to those in the first and second group of contact devices; wherein the integrated circuit and housing body are positioned in a first plane and the wiring device arrangement extends in a second plane that is parallel to the first plane and is in direct contact with the integrated circuit.
