  • Multi-pole cable connection and method for producing a multi-pole cable connection
    Patent number: 9559437
    Abstract: A method for producing a multi-pole cable connection includes disposing a plurality of contact elements in respective openings of a carrier element. A free end of each contact element protrudes from the respective openings and projects from a surface of the carrier element. The method also includes applying a flat sealing element to the carrier element so as to guide the sealing element over the free ends of the contact elements projecting from the surface of the carrier element, pressing the scaling element onto the surface of the carrier element. The method includes forming a contact of a plurality of conductors of a cable and the contact elements. The conductors are clamped onto the contact elements. The method also includes coating the contact with a potting material to form a component composite.
