Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2006119657A1] The invention relates to a contact element (7) for the intermittent contacting of conductor tracks (2, 3) on a circuit board, in particular, for flexible touch pads (4-6), for example for flexible input devices in the automobile industry. According to the invention, a very reliable construction which is particularly suitable for high voltage applications may be achieved, whereby the contact element is made from a metal foam (8). The metal foam is preferably at least partly infiltrated by an elastomeric material which can also be the material of construction of the touchpad. The invention further relates to a method for production of said contact element and touchpads/input devices with such contact pads and the use of said contact pads (7).
