Method for producing an electrically conductive connection and a contact element provided with an electric connection so produced
First Claim
1. A method of producing an electrically conductive connection between a contact element, which interacts with a corresponding counter-contact element, and several electric lines, each of which includes several stranded wires, the method comprising the acts of:
- depositing on a plane supporting surface of the contact element the several electrical lines;
determining whether to carry out a welding of the several electric lines by checking for a completeness of the several lines deposited on the plane supporting surface of the contact element, to verify that all the several electric lines are present by determining a cross-section formed by the stranded wires using a current flow of an electrically driven forming element; and
subsequently, if the several lines are present, resistance welding the several lines to fix the lines in a contact-making manner on the contact element.

Abstract
A method is provided for producing an electrically conductive connection between a contact element interacting with a corresponding counter-contact and several electric lines, each of which consists of several wires. The method consists of placing the lines on a contact element supporting surface, controlling the lines integrity, and fixing the lines to the contact elements by resistance welding. In particular, the contact element is provided with crimping elements which surround and/or form a ground cable terminal screwed to a mass bolt.
