Abstract
A connecting device electrically connects electrical lines to electrical contacts. The connecting device includes a flexible circuit board or printed circuit board, a base support and a cover. The electrical lines are disposed on the flexible circuit board. The flexible circuit board has a contact-making region, in which at least one electrical line is electrically connected to at least one electrical contact. The electrical contacts are disposed on the base support. The flexible circuit board is disposed between the base support and the cover. The base support and the cover form a sealed housing of the contact-making region. The circuit board and the cover are each composed of a flexible material, and the physical material properties of the circuit board and of the cover are substantially identical.
