Abstract:
A voltage divider (1) comprising:a carrier (2) of insulator material with bores (3) extending from a first surface (4) to a second surface (5) facing away from the first surface; a layer (6) of resistance material on one of the surfaces (4, 5) of the carrier (2); contact elements (7) secured in a respective bore (3), in contact with the layer (6) of resistance material, said contact elements (7) having a first, concave metal body (8) provided with a base (81) and walls (82) extending therefrom, accommodated in one of the bores (3) and connected to a second metal body (9), characterized in that the first body (8) is accommodated with clearance in one of the bores (3) and the walls (82) thereof have a flanged rim (83) which presses against the first surface (4), and in that the second body (9) is a leaf spring strip which has a welded joint (10) with the base (81) of the first body (8) and presses on both sides thereof against the second surface (5) of the carrier (2).
