1. A distance compensation element for arrangement between two components:
with a metal foil and
with spring elements integral with the metal foil,
wherein the spring elements protrude from a plane of the metal foil,
wherein the spring elements are designed to be in contact with at least one of the components,
wherein a slit arrangement with a plurality of slits is introduced into the metal foil, and
wherein the metal foil is deformed by stretching,
that the metal foil consists of at least two metal layers,
that at least one metal layer consists of a first metal,
that at least one metal layer consists of a second metal,
in that the first metal has a greater modulus of elasticity than the second metal, and
that the second metal has a greater thermal conductivity than the first metal.
