Method for assembling cables

Abstract

A method for assembling cables includes sliding a housing and a sleeve accommodated in the housing onto a cable in such a manner that the sleeve surrounds at least a portion of the cable. The housing is made of an electrically non-conductive material, the sleeve is made of an electrically conductive material and includes a cutting edge pointing radially inward, and the cable includes a conducting element and an insulation surrounding the conducting element. The method further includes magnetically forming the sleeve by applying a magnetic field to the sleeve through the housing, such that the sleeve is pressed against the insulation and the cutting edge penetrates the insulation completely and contacts the conducting element.
