A connection element for an electronic component assembly includes a support, a first contact pad, and a second contact pad. The first contact pad and the second contact pad are electrically connected. A first contact conductor has a first conductor surface electrically connected to the first contact pad at a first section, and is configured to form a welded connection in a second section of the first conductor surface, and/or on the second conductor surface. The invention also relates to an electronic component assembly which includes such a connection element, and which has at least one component welded to the contact conductor.
