Abstract
Method for connecting at least one wire to a contact element to facilitate connection of the wire to a power source comprising the following steps: a) preparation of the contact element which is fitted with a groove for receiving at least one wire; b) insertion of the wire into the groove of the contact element; c) lowering an electrode onto the contact element; and d) heating of the area around the groove by means of the electrode while simultaneously deforming the area around the groove thereby embedding the wire lying in said groove.
Claims19
Method for connecting at least one wire (20) to a contact element (30) to facilitate connection of a wire to a power supply, comprising the following steps:
- a) Preparation of a contact element (30) which is fitted with a groove (40) for receiving at least one wire (20);
- b) Positioning the wire (20) in the groove (40) of the contact element (30);
- c) Lowering an electrode (52) onto the contact element (30);
- characterized by the fact that
- d) The area surrounding the groove (40) is heated by means of the electrode (52);
- while simultaneously the area surrounding the groove (40) is deformed by the electrode (52) thereby embedding the wire lying in said groove (40).
Method in accordance with one of the previous claims, characterized by the fact that two or more wires (20) or wire ends are placed in the groove (40) to produce an electric contact between the wires or wire ends.
