A method for producing an electrically conductive bond between an electrical line, which comprises a plurality of individual conductors, and an electrically conductive component, comprising the following:
- producing from a crimp element blank a crimp element enclosing portions of the individual conductors, the crimp element comprising a continuous side and a discontinuous side, at which edge regions of the crimp element lie opposite one another;
- and
- substance-to-substance bonding of the crimp element at the continuous side thereof with a planar contact surface of the component;
- wherein the crimp element is produced in such a way that the discontinuous side of the crimp element comprises two bearing surfaces which are formed by crests of the edge regions of the crimp element and are spaced from one another in a transverse direction of the crimp element by an intermediate recess formed on the discontinuous side of the crimp element, wherein the crimp element is substance-to-substance bondable to the contact surface of the component at said bearing surfaces on the discontinuous side of the crimp element, and that the continuous side of the crimp element comprises two bearing surfaces which are spaced from one another in the transverse direction of the crimp element, wherein the crimp element is substance-to-substance bondable to the contact surface of the component at said bearing surfaces on the continuous side of the crimp element,
- wherein a recess is produced on the continuous side of the crimp element before the crimp element comes into contact with the contact surface of the component,
- wherein the recess extends from a front edge of the crimp element to a rear edge of the crimp element,
- wherein the crimp element is substance-to-substance bonded to the contact surface of the component by an ultrasonic welding process at the bearing surfaces on the continuous side of the crimp element between the front edge and the rear edge of the crimp element, and
- wherein said bearing surfaces on the continuous side of the crimp element are arranged on an outer surface of the crimp element, facing away from the individual conductors of the electrical line.
