Abstract:
A conductor strip arrangement for a molded electronic component (11), comprising at least one semiconductor element (5a-c) located on an electrically conducting conductor strip (1), and a housing (12) made of a molding material arranged around the conductor strip (1) and the at least one semiconductor element (5a-c) such that there are still sections (8) of the conductor strip (1) outside the housing (12), wherein a widened section (8.1) among the sections of the conductor strip (1) features a widening (10) such that the widened section (8.1) of the conductor strip (1) contacts an outer surface of housing (12) so as to prevent a mold material ridge (19) from being formed on the outer surface of the housing (12) at a location of the widened section, and wherein the widened section is not fixedly embedded in the housing so as to be free and removable from the housing.
