Abstract

In a conductor foil for conductively connecting electrical and/or electronic components, the conductor foil including printed circuit traces, insulated to the outside and applied on a non-conductive, elastically malleable carrier foil. The conductive foil also includes soldering surfaces connected to the printed circuit traces, for soldering to electric terminals of components, in addition, the conductor foil includes feed line segments through which the printed circuit traces are led to the soldering surfaces, in order, in response to shaking stresses, to avoid damage to the soldering points by vibrations transmitted by the feed line segments. Furthermore, the conductor foil has stiffening segments branching off from the feed line segments, the stiffening segments, in response to shaking stresses, causing a force diversion of the vibrations onto the stiffening segments via the feed line segment movable end, which is not connected to the soldering surfaces.
