Abstract
An element (1) for mechanical and electrical coupling of a passive and/or active electrical unit (2) to an electrical circuit unit (3). The element (1) comprises at least one electrical contact element (10, 11) for electrical contacting of the passive and/or active electrical unit (2) with electrical circuit unit (3), a first side, which faces toward passive and/or active electrical unit (2), which comprises a second side (13), which faces toward electrical circuit unit (3), and at least one first means (14) for secure mechanical connection to the electrical circuit unit is attached fixed to second side (13). Also discloses an electromedical implant for stimulating human/animal organism and/or sensing human/animal physiological signals. Comprises at least one electrical circuit unit (3), at least one passive and/or active electrical unit (2), and at least one coupling element, to electrically and mechanically couple unit (2) and unit (3) together.
