Abstract
An electrical assembly for an oil burner nozzle has a heating element and a conductive foil assembly for supplying current to the heating element. The conductive foil assembly has a base material in the form of an electrically insulating sheet configured to extend from the heating element in the oil burner nozzle to an access position accessible from outside the oil burner nozzle. Foil conductors are disposed on the electrically insulating sheet and extend from the access position to the heating element. Another electrically insulating sheet selectively covers the foil conductor in a sandwiched arrangement. The conductive foil assembly is folded around the heating element and portions of the foil conductors are placed into electrical contact with the heating element via non-insulated areas of the foil conductors provided by the selective covering. Access apertures are provided in at least one of the electrically insulating sheets at the access position to allow application of electric power to the foil conductors.
