A component support allows cost-effective, space-saving and low-stress packaging of MEMS components having a sensitive structure. The component support is suited, in particular, for MEMS components, which are mounted in the cavity of a housing and are intended to be electrically contacted. The component support is produced as a composite part in the form of a hollow body open on one side, the composite part being made essentially of a three-dimensionally shaped carrier foil flexible in its shaping, and an encasing material. The encasing material is molded onto one side of the carrier foil, so that the carrier foil is situated on the inner wall of the component support. At least one mounting surface for at least one component is formed on the inner wall having the carrier foil. The carrier foil is also provided with contact surfaces and insulated conductive paths for electrically contacting the at least one component.
