A method of forming an electrically conductive connection between two or more electrically conductive elements (2, 6) is provided, as is the resulting connection. Wherein the two or more electrically conductive elements (2, 6) are coated with a non-conductive coating (7), wherein an at least partially electrically conductive pasty medium (8) is located in a region (12) between the electrically conductive elements (2, 6) at regions of the electrically conductive elements (2, 6) which are substantially free from any non-conductive coating (7). The method comprising positioning one or more sealing elements (20) such that they completely isolate the partially electrically conductive pasty medium (8), such that after the electrically conductive elements (2, 6) are connected together, the sealing element (20) is held, and preferably compressed, between the electrically conductive elements (2, 6) and form a seal separating the at least partially electrically conductive pasty medium (8) from the surrounding environment.
