    Abstract: A contact carrier serves for fastening a contact element of a low-voltage protective switching device by a soldering operation, so that a solder layer is formed between the contact carrier and the contact element. The contact carrier has a contacting area for the solder layer, the contacting area for its part having a rough surface structure and being delimited by a first groove-like depression. As a result of the rough surface structure of the contacting area and the first groove-like depression, when the contact element is being fixed on the contact carrier by soldering, the solder flux can be specifically influenced to the effect that rising up of the solder at the sides of the contact element is avoided, or at least significantly reduced. The quality of the soldered connection, and consequently the reliability of the soldering process, are significantly improved in this way.
