METHOD FOR CONNECTING AN ELECTRICAL CABLE TO A CONTACT PIECE.

Abstract

To improve the stability of the process during the production of a connection between a contact piece (5) and a cable (1), as well as the quality of said connection, it is provided that prior to the insertion into the recess (8) of a crimping region (6), the axial ends of the plurality of electrical wires (3) of the cable (1) are fixed with a crimping tool (33) so that the axial ends of the plurality of electrical wires (3) protrude axially from the crimping tool (33) and the ends of the plurality of wires (3) that protrude axially from the crimping tool (33) are cut in the transverse direction with a cutting tool (32) so that a closed end face (9) is produced at the axial end of the wires (3),so that the axial end of the plurality of electrical wires (3) is inserted into the recess (8) and the plurality of wires (3) is welded to the contact piece (5) by melting the closed end face (9) disposed in the recess (8) by means of radiation energy from radiation directed onto the end face (9).
