    Abstract: In the method, a portion of the metal tube is placed in a lumen of a metal sleeve having a metal wall surrounding the lumen. The metal tube is placed in such a manner that an outer surface of the metal tube and an inner surface of the metal sleeve at least partially contact one another. The metal sleeve is affixed on the portion of the metal tube placed in its lumen for forming a metal tube, metal sleeve, composite system. The metal tube, metal sleeve, composite system, in turn, is placed in the passageway of the metal body in such a manner that an outer surface of the metal sleeve and an inner surface of the passageway at least partially contact one another, in order thereafter by plastically deforming at least the metal sleeve of the metal tube, metal sleeve, composite system placed in the passageway to form a force interlocking between the inner surface of the passageway and the outer surface of the metal sleeve.

  • Patent number: 8851919
    Abstract: An insulating body is captively secured on the housing for a plug connection having insulation displacement terminals. The insulating body is held on guide of the housing in a rotatable manner and in an insertable manner into the housing via an opening. The guide can be formed as slits that lie in lateral parts of the housing. The lateral parts project beyond the housing. Electric conductors can be inserted into the insulating body on a rear surface, plugged through said body, and cut on a front surface. The electric conductors are thus brought to the intended length before the insulating body is inserted into the housing.
