Patent ID: 7411291

Claim:
An electrical component, comprising: a substrate selected from at least one of the group consisting of a semiconductive substrate and an electrically isolating substrate; electrical conductor tracks being at least one of on and in said substrate and having a cross-section; electrically isolating structures at least one of on and in said substrate; at least two externally accessible electrical terminals; at least two component structures selected from at least one of a group consisting of voltage-sensitive component structures and electrical-arcing-endangered component structures; at least one shunt line having a cross-section smaller than said cross-section of said electrical conductor tracks; and said substrate, said electrical conductor tracks, said electrically isolating structures, said electrical terminals, and said at least two component structures having a pre-stage state in which said at least one shunt line short-circuits said at least two component structures and is electrically connected with said electrical terminals.
