Connecting clip, method of producing a connecting clip and use of two connecting clips as connecting lugs for a varistor

摘要

Metal connecting clips for connecting electrical components are known in which the clip is formed from a U-shaped connecting end at the end of a connecting lug and one of the free limbs of the U-shaped end serves as contact end. In order to design such a connecting clip so that it is suitable for connecting semiconductor components, in particular varistors, which have two electrically conducting layers on opposite surfaces, the bridge joining the two limbs of the U-shaped connecting end is coated with an electrically insulating layer on the inside.
