Patent ID: 7066030

Claim:
A process for providing a contact for a diaphragm electrode ( 6 ) for a pressure-measuring configuration, comprising: connecting a diaphragm ( 3 ) on which the diaphragm electrode ( 6 ) is positioned to a base ( 1 ) by means of a connecting element ( 2 ) made of an electrically insulating material and running between the two, where the base ( 1 ) exhibits a throughplating hole ( 7 , 10 ) between an attachment point ( 8 ) and a connecting point ( 9 ) leading to the connecting element ( 2 ), and the connecting element ( 2 ) exhibits a connecting element through contact ( 11 ) between the connecting point ( 9 ) and the diaphragm ( 3 ), or diaphragm electrode ( 6 ), filling a conductive contact material ( 13 ) in the throughplating hole ( 7 , 10 ), and assembling, through solidification, by allowing the contact material ( 13 ) to heat up, wherein the contact material ( 13 ) employed is a material from which ions penetrate connecting element ( 2 ) upon activation, by heating, and render the connecting element ( 2 ) conductive while forming a connecting element through contact ( 11 ).
