Abstract
Overlapped electrodes of an electrical component are dimensioned in such a way that when there is translational displacement of one electrode in relation to the electrode situated opposite, their area of overlap remains within a manufacturing tolerance β/2, and also remains constant within the tolerance limits when there is a simultaneous rotation of the electrodes with respect to one another. This is achieved in that the intersecting edge pairs of the overlapping electrodes are designed parallel to one another, whereby the length, measured in the direction parallel to the respective edge pair, of the corresponding electrode everywhere exceeds by β the corresponding length of the area of overlap.
