Method for simultaneously forming a mechanical and electrical connection between two parts

Abstract

A method connects two parts, which overlap each other only partially and have electrically conducting structures, mechanically and electrically at the same time. For purposes of electrical insulation and/or for mechanical and/or chemical protection, at least one of the conductors is extensively covered with an electrically insulating material beyond the overlapping area and including the connection surface. In order to establish the connection, the conducting parts are pressed against each other in the area of the connection surfaces of said conducting parts and in the area surrounding said connection surfaces. An adhesive is used as the electrically insulating material. The adhesive is put into a sticky state during the connection, thereby forming an electrical contact between the electrical connection surfaces and in the area surrounding said electrical connection surfaces, after which the adhesive is brought into a permanently adhering state.
