Patent ID: 8923005

Claim:
An electrical component or electrical assembly comprising: a connection arrangement between an active surface of an electrical component and a carrier, wherein electrical connecting elements are disposed in a connection zone on the active surface and/or on the carrier; and at least one spacer element which is disposed on the active surface and/or on the carrier, wherein the at least one spacer element has a shorter height than the connecting elements before the connecting elements are reflowed to produce the electrically conductive connection, wherein the at least one spacer element is disposed in an edge region of the connection zone, wherein the at least one spacer element has a melting point higher than a melting point of the connecting elements; wherein the at least one spacer element and the connecting elements are embedded in a filler; wherein the at least one spacer element prevents floating of the electrical component and/or carrier by lateral displacement of the filler when forming the connection arrangement, and ensures a minimum distance is maintained between the electrical component and the carrier when forming the connection arrangement.
