Patent ID: 8159076

Claim:
A method of producing an electronic connection device, comprising: a) forming, in a plane of a support substrate, at least one first contact element, and, in a direction approximately perpendicular to the plane, at least one second contact element including a first end in electrical contact with the at least one first contact element and a second end, said forming including liberating and standing up the at least one second contact element, which includes at least one metal track, or beam or arm, from a position parallel to the support substrate, to extend in the direction approximately perpendicular to the plane; b) then positioning at least one electrical or electronic component in contact with the at least one first contact element; and c) encapsulating, with an encapsulating material, the at least one electrical or electronic component and the at least one first and second contact elements, at least one second end of the at least one second contact element being flush with a surface of the encapsulating material.
