Patent ID: 8410368

Claim:
An electrical conductor comprising: a primary electrical contact; at least one secondary electrical contact; and a connection element, which electrically connects the first electrical contact and the at least one secondary electrical contact, the connection element comprising at least one plate-like region, wherein: each plate-like region comprises at least one deflection means having at least one first pivot and at least one second pivot; the first and second pivots of each deflection means are arranged such that each secondary electrical contact is movable relative to the primary electrical contact in a deflection direction without creation of a shear force; at least one current path is formed from the primary electrical contact through the at least one first pivot and the at least one second pivot to the at least one secondary electrical contact; and the first and the second pivots of each deflection means are arranged on at least one connecting line, which lies substantially perpendicular to the deflection direction; wherein each deflection means respectively comprises: at least one first section, at least one second section, and at least one third section, which is arranged between the first section and the at least one second section, and wherein: the first section is separated from the third section except for a first joint acting as a first hinge that includes the first pivot; the at least one second section is separated from the third section except for a second joint acting as a second hinge that includes the second pivot; and at least one first current path is formed from the primary electrical contact through the first section, the first joint, the third section, the second joint, and the at least one second section to the secondary electrical contact.
