  • a shielding arrangement for shielding lines and devices against high-frequency interference is known in the double umbrellas, in particular two or more nested umbrellas, preferably used at a small distance of the individual screens, in which the screen extension compared to the quarter wavelength is electrically long and the especially suitable for ultrashort waves.
  • the preamble of claim 1 corresponds EP-A-1 788 585 .
  • the core of the present invention is to provide a contacting device for an electrical component or an electrical circuit, in particular for power electronics applications with clocked power amplifiers, in which fast clocked currents flow whereby a low-frequency useful signal superimposed with a higher-frequency interference signal to specify, are strongly attenuated in the electrical resonances in the contactor, but the useful signals to be transmitted are passed through as undamped, the measures for damping the unwanted electrical resonances as cost effective as possible Space-saving and easy to run.
  • high electrical conductivity refers to conductivities such as silver, copper, gold or aluminum, ie in particular electrical conductivities ⁇ > 15 ⁇ 10 6 S / m and are understood by the term of low electrical conductivity conductivities, such as those, for example, iron, chromium, lead or titanium having electrical conductivity values of ⁇ ⁇ 15 ⁇ 10 6 S / m.
  • a stamped grid is usually made of metallic strip material by stamping it in the desired structure, while maintaining an additional frame that holds the individual stamped grid together during the assembly process. After mounting the stamped grid with the electrical component or the electrical circuit of the additional frame is punched free, so that the individual contacts of the stamped grid are electrically isolated from each other. If such justifyiervoriquesen for components or circuits produced that operate at high frequencies, especially at frequencies above about 30 MHz, it can be in accordance with geometric expression of Punching grid the case occur that occur on the contacting electrical resonances. Such electrical resonances can be reduced by optimizing the geometric arrangement, which however is not possible for all frequencies and which is additionally limited by the spatial arrangement and must be optimized individually for each application.

  • This is achieved by designing the surface of the contacting device such that the ohmic resistance of the electrical signals on the contacting device is designed to be frequency-dependent.
  • the effect of the current-displacement effect is that the current density in the conductor cross-section is not constant, as is the case, for example, with a transmitted direct current, but the current density in the Inside the conductor is lower than the current density at the surfaces of the conductor.
  • the higher the frequencies of the signals the smaller the layer thickness at the surface of the conductor in which the predominant electromagnetic power is transmitted, so that in the frequency range in the MHz band, the electrical power only in a layer thickness of a few tens of micrometers at the Surface of the conductor is transmitted.
