Abstract
A method is provided for producing a component connection. The method includes the following steps: providing a first component, providing a first ball, pressing the first ball against the first component by a sonotrode, vibrating the first ball by the sonotrode such that material of the first ball and/or material of the first component melts, and the first ball is welded to the first component, providing a second ball, pressing the second ball against the first ball by the same sonotrode or another sonotrode, and vibrating the second ball by the same sonotrode or the other sonotrode such that material of the second ball and/or material of the first ball melts, and the second ball is welded to the first ball.

A method for producing a component connection, the method comprising the acts of:
- providing a first component;
- providing a first ball;
- pressing the first ball against the first component via a sonotrode;
- causing the first ball to vibrate via the sonotrode such that material of the first ball and/or material of the first component melts and welds the first ball to the first component;
- providing a second ball;
- pressing the second ball against the first ball via the same or another sonotrode;
- causing the second ball to vibrate via the same or the other sonotrode such that material of the second ball and/or first ball melts and the second ball is welded to the first ball at a welded joint that is disposed externally of the first component.
