Abstract
A fluid-tight via includes a plastic body, a flat contact, and a permanently elastic sealant. The plastic body is composed of a non-shrinking, duroplastic material. The flat contact has an intermediate region encapsulated by the plastic body. The intermediate region of the flat contact has a cross-sectional width which varies along an axial direction of the flat contact. The permanently elastic sealant fills cracks in interfaces between the plastic body and the flat contact.
