Figure 1 shows a perspective view of abus bar 100. Thebus bar 100 serves to conduct electricity within an electrical apparatus. Thebus bar 100 may for example be used in an anti-lock breaking system (ABS) module. - The
bus bar 100 comprises an electrically conductive material, for example a metal. Thebus bar 100 may for example comprise a copper-tin alloy or another alloy. - The
bus bar 100 comprises the shape of a flat-strip with afirst surface 101 and asecond surface 102. Between thefirst surface 101 and thesecond surface 102 thebus bar 100 comprises athickness 103. Thethickness 103 may for example be about 5 mm. - The
bus bar 100 comprises a first welding bump 110 and a second welding bump 120. The first welding bump 110 is arranged at afirst position 111 of thebus bar 100. The second welding bump 120 is arranged at asecond position 121 of thebus bar 100. The first welding bump 110 and the second welding bump 120 each comprise an elongate shape arranged in parallel to a longitudinal direction of thebus bar 100. - The
first position 111 and thesecond position 121 are arranged directly adjacent to each other along the longitudinal direction of thebus bar 100. In an alternative embodiment thefirst position 111 and thesecond position 121 may however be spaced from one another. - The first welding bump 110 protrudes over the
first surface 101 of thebus bar 100. The second welding bump 120 protrudes over thesecond surface 102 of thebus bar 100. The first welding bump 110 and the second welding bump 120 are thus point symmetric with respect to each other. - In an
intermediate area 131 between the first welding bump 110 at thefirst position 111 and the second welding bump 120 at the second position 121 a crack 130 is arranged in thebus bar 100. The crack 130 is an opening in the material of thebus bar 100 and was formed in a controlled manner at the same time that the first welding bump 110 and the second welding bump 120 were formed. - The first welding bump 110 and the second welding bump 120 are each provided for being welded on electrical conductors, for example for being welded on contact legs of electrical elements such as capacitors.

metal bus bar 100 is provided without welding bumps 110, 120 as shown in the top-view ofFigure 2 . Thebus bar 100 is provided as an elongate strip of a metal with thefirst position 111 designated for creation of the first welding bump 110 and thesecond position 121 designated for creation of the second welding bump 120. - Optionally a
hole 132 may be drilled in theintermediate area 131 between thefirst position 111 and thesecond position 121. Thehole 132 may also be created otherwise in theintermediate area 131. For example, thehole 132 may be punched or stamped in theintermediate area 131. Thehole 132 supports a controlled formation of the crack 130. Creation of thehole 131 may, however, be omitted. -
Figure 3 schematically shows the creation of the first welding bump 110 and the second welding bump 120.Figure 3 depicts a side-view of thebus bar 100. Afirst plunger 150 is pressed against thesecond surface 102 in afirst direction 151 at thefirst position 111 of thebus bar 100. Simultaneously, asecond plunger 160 presses against thefirst surface 101 in asecond direction 161 at thesecond position 121 of thebus bar 100. Thefirst plunger 150 thus stamps the first welding bump 110. Thesecond plunger 160 simultaneously stamps the second welding bump 120. At the same time the crack 130 is formed in theintermediate area 131 in a controlled manner. -
Figure 4 shows a sectional view of thebus bar 100 after stamping the first welding bump 110 with thefirst plunger 150 and the second welding bump 120 with thesecond plunger 160. In the sectional view ofFigure 4 thebus bar 100 is sliced along line AA shown inFigure 2 . At thefirst position 111 the first welding bump 110 has been created. Simultaneously, the second welding bump 120 has been created at thesecond position 121. - Also simultaneously, the crack 130 has been created in the
intermediate area 131 between thefirst position 111 and thesecond position 121 by tearing of the material of thebus bar 100. The creation of thecrack 131 may have been supported by thehole 132 drilled, punched, stamped or created otherwise into thebus bar 100 in theintermediate area 131 before stamping the welding bumps 110, 120. Alternatively, the crack 130 may have been created without a preceeding formation of thehole 132. - The first welding bump 110 protrudes over the
first surface 101 of thebus bar 100 by afirst height 112. The second welding bump 120 protrudes over thesecond surface 102 of thebus bar 100 by a second height 122. Thefirst height 112 and the second height 122 may for example be between 0.3 mm and 0.5 mm, in particular about 0.4 mm. -

Figure 7 summarises the method for producing thebus bar 100 in a schematic flow-diagram 200. In afirst step 210 themetal bus bar 100 is provided without welding bumps 110, 120. In an optionalsecond method step 220 thehole 132 is drilled in theintermediate area 131 between thefirst position 111 and thesecond position 121 of thebus bar 100. In athird method step 230 the first welding bump 110 is stamped at thefirst position 111. Simultaneously, the second welding bump 120 is stamped at thesecond position 121. Stamping of the welding bumps 110, 120 creates the crack 130 in theintermediate area 131 at the same time.
