Abstract:
1. An electric heating element comprising: a. at least one flat heating resistor for disposed near a surface to be heated; and b. at least one electrode for feeding a current into the flat heating resistor, the at least one electrode comprising at least two contact conductor strands including an elongated contacting region; wherein, within the elongated contacting region of the electrode feeds a current into the flat heating resistor, wherein the at least two of the contact conductor strands are at least locally in contact to one another and to the heating resistor, and wherein further at least one point at least one of the contact conductor strands at least locally extends directionally generally parallel to the direction of the electrode and at least one other contact conductor strand at least locally extends angular to the direction of the electrode or of the elongated contacting region or both.
