Multi-layer component having an external contact
A multi-layer component ( 1 ) is specified, comprising a main body ( 2 ) with an external contact ( 3 ) arranged thereon, a further contact ( 5 ) for electrically contacting the multi-layer component ( 1 ), and a connecting element ( 4 ) for connecting the external contact ( 3 ) and the further contact ( 5 ), wherein the connecting element ( 4 ) is embodied in such a way that a decoupling of mechanical stresses that occur in the further contact ( 5 ) from the external contact ( 3 ) is brought about.
1. A multi-layer component, comprising:
a main body with an external contact arranged thereon;
a further contact for electrically contacting the multi-layer component; and
a connecting element for connecting the external contact and the further contact,
wherein the connecting element is embodied in such a way that a decoupling of mechanical stresses that occur in the further contact from the external contact is brought about,
wherein the connecting element is an integral part of the external contact,
wherein the connecting element is embodied as a meandering wire element, and
wherein the external contact is embodied in a meandering fashion.
2. The multi-layer component according to claim 1 , wherein the connecting element has a low stiffness.
3. The multi-layer component according to claim 1 , wherein the connecting element runs in a plane along a side surface of the main body.
4. The multi-layer component according to claim 1 , wherein the connecting element is spaced apart from the side surface of the main body continuously in a region between the external contact and the further contact.
5. The multi-layer component according to claim 1 , wherein the connecting element is embodied integrally.
6. The multi-layer component according to claim 1 , wherein the connecting element comprises an extension of the external contact, and
wherein the extension is bent over in such a way that it runs approximately parallel or at an acute angle with respect to the main body.
7. The multi-layer component according to claim 1 , wherein the connecting element is fixed to the external contact along an edge running perpendicular to the stacking direction.
8. The multi-layer component according to claim 1 , wherein the connecting element is connected to the external contact via an individual contact point.
9. The multi-layer component according to claim 1 , wherein the further contact overlaps the main body in a longitudinal direction.
