  • Method for connecting an aluminum electrical wire with an aluminum tube
    Patent number: 11038312
    Abstract: A method for connecting an electrical cable having at least one wire made of aluminum or an aluminum alloy to a connector element includes the following steps: Inserting a stripped portion at an end of the electrical cable into a tube of the connector element. Crimping the tube where an end portion of the electrical cable is arranged so that a relative motion between the tube and the electrical cable is prevented. Crimping the tube where a second portion of the electrical cable is arranged, the second portion being further from the end of the electrical cable than the end portion, such that a change of the cross section and an elongation of the least one wire at the second portion of the electrical cable is caused. Resistance welding the tube to the at least one wire at the second portion of the electrical cable.
