POWER SUPPLY DEVICE FOR AN ELECTRODE OF A DISCHARGE LAMP AND DISCHARGE LAMP, PARTICULARLY MAXIMUM-PRESSURE MERCURY-VAPOR DISCHARGE LAMP

摘要

The invention relates to a power supply device for an electrode (12, 13) of a discharge lamp (I), comprising a current carrier film (16, 20) and a current carrier pin (17, 21) connected thereto, the electrode (12, 13) being disposed on said carrier pin, wherein the current carrier pin (16, 20) in the connecting region (22, 23) with the current carrier film (16, 20) has a shape with at least one planar surface (27 to 30, 30a, 35 to 38) extending in the longitudinal direction (A) of the current carrier pin (17, 21). The invention further relates to a power supply device for an electrode (12, 13) of a discharge lamp (I), comprising a current carrier film (16, 20) and a current carrier pin (17, 21) connected thereto, the electrode (16, 20) being disposed on said carrier pin, wherein the current carrier pin (17, 21) in the connecting region (22, 23) with the current carrier film (16, 20) has a shape such that a stepless transition (31 to 34) of the surfaces (27 to 30, 30a, 35 to 38; 25, 26) is formed.
