  • Publication number: 20230216260
    Abstract: A method for joining a cable to a connector includes: providing an electrically conductive fusible conductor joining material which has a lower melting point than that of at least one inner conductor of the cable and/or at least one contact of the connector; bringing an end of the connector to an end of the cable such that at least one inner conductor of the cable and at least one contact of the connector are opposite one another and the fusible conductor joining material is present in between; and heating the cable and/or the connector from the outside such that the heat penetrates into an interior of the at least one heated cable or the connector so the fusible conductor joining material melts and electrically connects the at least one inner conductor of the cable and the contact of the connector to one another.

  • Patent number: 11545800
    Abstract: A method for joining a first cable to a second cable that each include at least one electrically conductive inner conductor, an outer sheath which at least partially surrounds the at least one inner conductor, and an insulation material which is arranged at least partially between the at least one inner conductor and the outer sheath. The method includes: bringing an end of each cable together such that at least one inner conductor of the cables are opposite one another and a fusible conductor joining material having a lower melting point than the at least one inner conductor is present in between; and heating at least one of the cables from the outside such that the heat penetrates into an interior of the at least one heated cable so the fusible conductor joining material melts and electrically connects the at least one inner conductor of the cables to one another.

  • Publication number: 20220246332
    Abstract: An electrical feedthrough is providing that includes a base body, an insulating material, an electrical conductor, a creepage distance extension, and a sealing member. The base body has a through opening extending therethrough. The insulating material is in the through opening. The electrical conductor extends through the insulating material such that a portion of the electrical conductor protrudes from the insulating material. The creepage distance extension surrounds at least a section of the portion. The sealing member is between the insulating material and the creepage distance extension. The sealing member is a seal material that is at least partially mineral and crystalline.

  • Publication number: 20210324976
    Abstract: A feedthrough includes: a main body having at least one passage opening that extends through the main body; at least one first functional element which is disposed within the at least one passage opening and is connected to the main body in a fluid-tight manner; and an insulation material that surrounds at least some regions of the at least one first functional element and establishes the fluid-tight connection to the main body. Within the at least one first functional element, there is a pressure-guiding channel by which pressure components that have arisen as a result of pressure are guided from within the at least one first functional element outward to the surrounding insulation material such that a pressure resistance of the fluid-tight connection of the at least one first functional element to the main body is elevated.

  • Patent number: 9413152
    Abstract: A feed-through is provided that includes a flange and a first functional component. The flange has a through-opening in which the first functional component is arranged and is connected to the flange such that the through-opening is sealed. The first functional component has at least one deformation region, in which a recess is provided such that the mechanical stability of the first functional component is reduced in the deformation region. In this manner, the first functional element can be deformed in the deformation area when mechanical load is applied.
