Abstract
The invention relates to a protective device for an electronic component including at least one pin to be electrically connected to an electronic system. The device includes at least one flexible printed circuit including first and second opposite surfaces, a central portion including a through opening for receiving the pin, and flaps connected to the central portion. The printed circuit is made of two insulation layers and includes at least one first conducting track between the two insulating layers, connecting the pin to the electronic system, a second conducting track extending on the first surface, and a third conducting track extending on the second surface. The flaps are folded back at least partially onto each other in order to encapsulate the pin and to electrically connect the second and third conducting tracks.
