  • Patent number: 10833426
    Abstract: To provide a method for producing an electrically conductive bond between an electrical line, which includes a plurality of individual conductors, and an electrically conductive component, including producing from a crimp element blank a crimp element enclosing portions of the individual conductors, the crimp element including a continuous side and a discontinuous side, at which edge regions of the crimp element lie opposite one another, and substance-to-substance bonding of the crimp element with a contact surface of the component, which is simple to carry out and nevertheless always results in a robust substance-to-substance bond between the crimp element and the component, it is proposed that the crimp element be produced in such a way that the continuous side of the crimp element includes two bearing surfaces which are spaced from one another, at which the crimp element is substance-to-substance bondable to the contact surface of the component.

  • Patent number: 10256452
    Abstract: A cell contacting system for an electro-chemical device includes a plurality of electro-chemical cells and a current line system, wherein the cell contacting system includes a signal line system having signal lines for connecting a respective signal source to a signal line termination or to a monitoring device of the cell contacting system and a carrier element which carries the signal line system. The cell contacting system further includes at least one signal-line-system-side positioning element which is fixed to a signal line of the signal line system and at least one carrier-element-side positioning element which is fixed at least temporarily to the carrier element, wherein the signal-line-system-side positioning element is connected to the carrier-element-side positioning element at least temporarily in such a way that the signal-line-system-side positioning element is positioned in a desired position relative to a cell connector or a current termination of the current line system.
