METHOD FOR PRODUCING AN ELECTRICAL HEATING DEVICE

The present invention relates to an electrical heating device with a heater housing in which a partition wall separates a circulation chamber (Z) that can be traversed by a medium to be heated from a connection chamber (A) in which electrical connections (6.1) of a PTC heating element (2) inserted into a U-shaped recess (18) of a heating fin (14.2) protruding from the partition wall into the circulation chamber (Z), with at least one PTC element (4) and conductor tracks (6) lying on both sides thereof, are exposed, and to a method for their manufacture. [0002] For thermal optimization, in the method according to the invention, after insertion of the PTC heating element (2), a thermally conductive mass (26) is introduced into the U-shaped recess (18).
