The application relates to a plastic moulding for a moulding arrangement including a housing for another plastic moulding of the moulding arrangement, wherein the housing is formed within a moulding body of the plastic moulding including a weldable material in at least some areas. It is contemplated therein that a contact element is arranged on the moulding body, the contact element at least partly including an electrically conductive material and limiting a recess of the moulding body adjoining the housing in at least some areas. The application further relates to a moulding arrangement and a method for producing a moulding arrangement.
A plastic moulding for a moulding arrangement having a housing, stepped due to the formation of a step, for another plastic moulding of the moulding arrangement, wherein the stepped housing is formed within a moulding body of the plastic moulding, which moulding body consists of a weldable material in at least some areas, wherein on the moulding body, a contact element consisting at least partly of an electrically conductive material and limiting a recess of the moulding body adjoining the housing is arranged in at least some areas, wherein the contact element includes a protrusion arranged in the recess and projecting towards the housing up to an inner edge of the step.
A moulding arrangement having a plastic moulding and another plastic moulding, wherein the plastic moulding includes a housing, stepped due to the formation of a step, for the other plastic moulding formed within a moulding body of the plastic moulding consisting of a weldable material in at least some areas, wherein on the moulding body, a contact element consisting at least partly of an electrically conductive material and limiting a recess of the moulding body adjoining the housing is arranged in at least some areas, wherein the contact element includes a protrusion arranged in the recess and projecting towards the housing up to an inner edge of the step.
A method for producing the moulding arrangement having a plastic moulding and another plastic moulding, wherein the plastic moulding includes a housing for the other plastic moulding which is formed within a moulding body of the plastic moulding consisting of a weldable material in at least some areas, wherein on the moulding body, a contact element is arranged consisting at least partly of an electrically conductive material and limiting a recess of the moulding body adjoining the housing in at least some areas, wherein the contact element includes a protrusion arranged in the recess and projecting towards the housing, wherein the plastic moulding and the other plastic moulding are offset one towards the other in an off-setting direction during welding, wherein the protrusion is heated up during welding with force being applied onto it by the plastic moulding and the other plastic moulding being offset one towards the other such that it is deformed towards the base body and pressed against a front side of the other plastic moulding.
