Plastic component with electrical functions, e.g. a chip card, contains functional elements, e.g. an antenna, made of electrically conducting plastic

摘要

The electrical functions of a plastic component are performed by plastic sections made electrically conducting, either chemically or by additives. The base section (1) has V- or U-shaped grooves into which the conducting material, e.g. an antenna (3), is placed. The electrical functions of a plastic component are performed by plastic sections made electrically conducting, either chemically or by additives. The base section (1) has V- or U-shaped grooves into which the conducting material, e.g. an antenna (3), is placed. The conductors can be of variable cross-section or specific resistance and can perform other functions, e.g. capacitance, resistance, and can be identified by different colors. The component is made by multi-component injection molding. The first component is a non-conducting plastic to form a base which is then followed by a second conducting component. A chip card (1) with antenna (3) can be injection molded in this way with a die containing a rotary table. An Independent claim is included for a method of manufacturing a plastic form component.
