Abstract
Bond-wire cutting device for cutting off the part of a bond wire that extends beyond the bonding contact area after a bonded connection has been produced, with a knife that can be moved with a movement component perpendicular to the surface of a substrate and hence to the bonding contact area, wherein the knife is mounted so as to be yielding with respect to the movement component perpendicular to the substrate surface, so that the force acting on the cutting edge of the knife when the knife encounters the substrate is limited to a prespecified peak value.
