Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An electrical device with a soldered joint is disclosed. In an embodiment, an electrical device includes at least one soldered joint having a first wire soldered at one end to the device, wherein the first wire bears with a bearing surface on the device, and wherein the first wire has at least one bend in a region of the bearing surface of the first wire on the device.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An electrical device comprising: at least one soldered joint comprising a first wire soldered at one end to the device, wherein the first wire bears with a bearing surface on the device, wherein the first wire has at least one bend in a region of the bearing surface of the first wire on the device, and wherein the bearing surface of the first wire has a rounded end in plan view. 2. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the first wire has a further bend in a region of a flattened portion which is directed towards a contact surface. 3. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the first wire has a flattened portion in the region of the bearing surface. 4. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the device has at least one contact surface for the soldered joint which is coated with an electrically conductive metal. 5. The device according to claim 4 , wherein the bearing surface of the first wire is shorter than the contact surface. 6. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the first wire extends after the bend with a gap relative to a contact surface when viewed from the bearing surface. 7. The device according to claim 6 , wherein the soldered joint comprises a solder, a greater part of which is arranged in a region in which the first wire extends with the gap relative to the contact surface. 8. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the bend is arranged in the first wire at an end of a flattened portion where it develops into a region of a round cross-sectional shape. 9. The device according to claim 8 , further comprising a first wire insulation of a synthetic polymer material, which begins only in the region of round cross-sectional shape. 10. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the device comprises an NTC ceramic. 11. The device according to claim 1 , further comprising a polymer covering, which envelops the device, the soldered joint and the first wire to as far as behind a last bend. 12. The device according to claim 1 , further comprising a second contact surface, to which a second wire identical in form to the first wire is soldered. 13. An electrical device comprising: at least one soldered joint comprising a wire soldered at one end to the device, wherein the wire bears with a bearing surface on the device, wherein the wire has at least one bend in a region of the bearing surface of the wire on the device, wherein the wire has a flattened portion in the region of the bearing surface, and wherein the bend is arranged in the wire at an end of the flattened portion where it develops into a region of a round cross-sectional shape.
