Abstract
In a contact device for an electrical functional element, for example an antenna, disposed on a window, in particular on a vehicle window, with a housing fixed on the window and comprising electrical components, such as an amplifier, with an input connection between the housing and the functional element, which is also fixed on the window, and with output links in accordance with the invention, the input connection (,) is, in two different variants, each time surrounded by an adhesive layer, independently of its placement in electrical contact; in one of the variants, it is disposed outside the housing (,), in the other variant it is overlain by the housing (,). The electrical contact to the functional element is effected during or after bonding the housing and respectively the input connection, preferably by soldering, so as to ensure particularly reliable placement in contact.
