A method for joining a cable to a connector, the cable comprising at least one electrically conductive inner conductor for transmitting electric signals or electric energy, an outer sheath which at least partially surrounds the at least one inner conductor, and an insulation material which is arranged at least partially between the at least one inner conductor and the outer sheath in order to insulate the at least one inner conductor from the outer sheath, the connector comprising at least one electrically conductive contact for transmitting electric signals or electric energy, a sleeve which at least partially surrounds the at least one contact, and an insulation material which is arranged at least partially between the at least one contact and the sleeve in order to insulate the at least one contact from the sleeve, the method comprising:
- providing an electrically conductive fusible conductor joining material which has a lower melting point than that of the at least one inner conductor and/or of the at least one contact;
- bringing an end of the connector to an end of the cable such that at least one inner conductor of the cable and at least one contact of the connector are opposite one another and the fusible conductor joining material is present in between;
- and
- heating the cable and/or the connector from the outside such that the heat penetrates into an interior of the at least one heated cable or the connector so that the fusible conductor joining material present between the at least one inner conductor of the cable and the connector melts and electrically connects the at least one inner conductor of the cable and the contact of the connector to one another.
