Abstract
The contact element is produced by ultrasonically welding one or more contact pieces onto a carrier, an intermediate layer, for example of aluminium foil, being interposed between the contact piece and the carrier prior to such welding in order to assist in the welding of contact pieces made of material which would otherwise be difficult to weld.
Claims9
An electrical contact element comprising at least one contact piece having a contact surface for making selective electrical connection with a corresponding contact surface of a contact piece on another contact element, a carrier for supporting the or each contact piece and to which the or each contact piece is joined by means of ultrasonic welding, and an intermediate layer of readily cold-weldable metal material which is inserted between the contact piece and the carrier prior to the ultrasonic welding of the or each contact piece to the carrier.
