ELECTRONIC COMPONENT AND ELECTRONIC SIGNAL PROCESSING UNIT COMPRISING SUCH A COMPONENT

The invention relates to an electronic structural element (1) with a first and a second base plate (2a, 2b), as well as a coupling plate (3), wherein, between the first base plate (2a) and the coupling plate (3), a first electrical capacitor (C1) is formed, and, between the second base plate (2b) and the coupling plate (3), a second electrical capacitor (C2) is formed, so that the first and the second electrical capacitors (C1, C2) form an electrical series capacitor (Cs) between the first and the second base plates (2a, 2b). According to the invention, the coupling plate (3) is divided into a plurality (N) of mutually non-contacting strips (6), wherein the first and the second electrical capacitors (C1, C2) are in each case divided into a plurality (N) of electrical elementary capacitors (Ce), and, by means of the strips (6), a plurality (N) of parallel-connected, electrical elementary series capacitors (Cse) is formed between the first and the second base plates (2a, 2b). This way, a short circuit (K) on a specific strip (6′) has only a slight effect on a change in the overall series capacitance (Cs) on the structural element (1).
