Abstract:
A conductor foil for conductively connecting electrical components, comprising:printed circuit traces insulated on an outer side of the conductor foil and applied on a non-conductive carrier foil, the non-conductive carrier foil being elastically malleable;at least one feed line segment;soldering surfaces coupled to the printed circuit traces via the at least one feed line segment for soldering to the electrical components; andat least one stiffening segment extending away from the at least one feed line segment, the at least one stiffening segment adapted for being coupled to a connecting point outside of the electrical components soldered to the soldering surfaces;wherein shaking stresses generated by vibrations on a movable end of the at least one feed line segment, which is not connected to the soldering surfaces, are diverted away from the soldering surfaces and transmitted to the at least one stiffening segment and to said connecting point.
