US Patent 12027727 Carrier structure, cell contacting system and manufacturing method

A carrier structure for electrically insulating a first electrically conductive part and a second electrically conductive part includes a base body formed of an electrically insulating material and an electrically insulating spacer embedded in the base body in at least part of a separation region between the first electrically conductive part and the second electrically conductive part. The base body has a first holding structure holding the first electrically conductive part and a second holding structure holding the second electrically conductive part. The electrically insulating spacer has an intumescent material and/or a high temperature-resistant filler.
