Abstract
An apparatus includes a main body having an electrode and a contact element. The contact element is directly mechanically and electrically conductively connected to the electrode in order to form an electrical connection between the main body and the contact element. The electrical and mechanical connection between the electrode and the contact element is free of melting regions of the materials of the electrode and of the contact element that are involved in the connection. Furthermore, the connection is realized in a manner free of connection material, for example, in a manner free of solder material.
