A micromechanical component having a base part, a swiveling part, which has an electrically conductive material, and a swiveling part insulation which electrically insulates a first and a second section of the swiveling part from each other. A first flexible, electrically conductive connecting element connects the base part to the first swiveling part section, and a second flexible, electrically conductive connecting element connects the base part to the second swiveling part section. A method also created for producing a micromechanical component includes the following steps: providing a substrate wafer that has a conductive overlayer, etching an insulation trench into the overlayer that insulates a first and second section of the overlayer from each other, as well as forming a base part and a swiveling part including the first and the second section of the overlayer from the substrate wafer, while allowing to remain a first flexible, electrically conductive connecting element, which connects the base part to the first swiveling part section, and allowing to remain a second flexible connecting element which connects the base part to the second swiveling part section.
