Busbar (10; 110) for the
electrically conductive connection of battery cells (142), comprising a plurality of exposed contact tongues (18; 118), each of which is designed for a metallurgical connection with a
contact formation (143, 145) of a
battery cell (142), wherein the contact tongues (18; 118) are integrally formed with an
electrically conductive web structure (12; 112), wherein the
web structure (12; 112) electrically connects the contact tongues (18; 118), wherein a cladding structure (14; 114) made of electrically insulating material is arranged on at least one section of the
web structure (12; 112), wherein the
busbar (10; 110) has a first
coupling area (24; 124) with at least one first
coupling formation (26; 126) and a length along a virtual distance axis (A) the second
coupling area (30; ) arranged at a distance from the first coupling area (24; 124).130) with at least one second coupling formation (32; 132), wherein the first coupling formation (26; 126) and the second coupling formation (32; 132) are designed to be complementary such that the second coupling formation (32; 132) of the
busbar (10; 110) can be coupled to a first
negative feedback formation of a first connecting object (10; 110) that is different from the
busbar (10; 110), wherein the first
negative feedback formation corresponds in its shape and dimensions to the first coupling formation (26; 126), and that the first coupling formation (26; 126) of the busbar (10; 110) can be coupled to a second
negative feedback formation of a second connecting object (10; 110) that is different from the busbar (10; 110), wherein the second feedback formation in its shape and dimensions of the second coupling formation (32;132) corresponds, wherein the
electrically conductive bridge structure (112) between two contact tongues (118) has at least one fuse section (148) formed integrally with the bridge structure (112), wherein the bridge structure (112) has a smaller conductor cross-section in the fuse section than in the areas between the fuse section (148) and each of the two contact tongues (118), wherein at least a part of the fuse section (148) is exposed without being covered by the cladding structure (114).
