Abstract: A method of making an electrical connection is here proposed. The method includes the steps of joining a first contact member to a second contact member in a material-to-material contact. The method steps for the same include: providing the first contact part, which towards the second contact part has a male, first joining section as a solid component with an at least substantially rotationally symmetrical profile, providing the second contact part having towards the first contact part a female second joining portion with a hollow profile, inserting the first joining section into the second joining section, applying a friction welding tool (400) to or in an opening of the second joining section (121), and moving the friction welding tool relative to the first contact part and/or the second contact part to generate welding energy for at least partially plasticizing a part of the first joining portion and/or second joining portion facing the other contact part.
