Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the cohesive connection of a first element (16, 18) to a second element (10), wherein the elements are located one on the other during the connection process and are connected by means of a solder material which is subjected to ultrasonic vibrations during connection by means of a tool (32, 34). In order to allow cohesive connection in an energy-efficient manner, it is proposed that the first element (16, 18) used is one which has through-passage openings (28, 30), that for the purpose of connection the first element and the second element (10) are placed one on the other with through-passage openings open towards the second element, and that molten solder material is located in the through-passage openings during connection and in the through-passage openings the molten solder material is subjected to the ultrasonic vibrations.
