Abstract:

A method for joining an electrical terminal pre-populated in a contact carrier and an electrical conductor includes arranging a connection portion of the electrical conductor at a receiving section of the electrical terminal pre-populated in the contact carrier, arranging at least two electrodes on one or more sides of the receiving section of the electrical terminal pre-populated in the contact carrier receiving the connection portion of the electrical conductor, and fusing the connection portion of the electrical conductor and the receiving section of the electrical terminal pre-populated in the contact carrier by using the electrodes to join the electrical conductor and the electrical terminal pre-populated in the contact carrier.
