  • Patent number: 11843131
    Abstract: An electrical device including a conductor cable having an electrical conductor embedded in an insulation sheath of the conductor cable in a contact plane. The electrical conductor is stripped of the insulation sheath in a predetermined contact section at least on one contact side, the contact section of the conductor is bent out with the contact side from the contact plane to beyond the insulation sheath. The device further includes an electrical connection counterpart. The contact side of the contact section of the conductor rests on the electrical connection counterpart and is connected directly to the electrical connection counterpart to form an electrical contact.
