Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for connecting an electrically conductive component, on which a tubular connecting element is provided, with a flexible electrical conductor, consisting of wires or strands of an aluminum alloy, wherein a stripped conductor end is bordered with a metallic support sleeve.
  • Electrically conductive components such as cable lugs, battery terminals, busbars or line connectors are often already fabrikatorisch connected to an electrical connection line, especially in the automotive industry, while the compact components usually consist of a copper alloy or brass, are cost reasons flexible electrical wires or strands of aluminum alloy.
  • the attachment end of the flexible electrical conductor is stripped and usually provided in this area with an outer support sleeve made of aluminum, which is pressed with the wires.
  • the electrically conductive component such as a cable lug or a battery terminal having a correspondingly shaped portion which is inserted into the support sleeve inserted.
  • corresponding electrical components such as cable lugs, battery terminals or line connectors are used in practice, which are formed from pipe sections.
  • the components usually produced by deformation or compression have a pipe section for connection to a flexible electrical conductor. In this pipe section, the stripped end of the conductor is inserted with the support sleeve and fixed by pressing in the radial direction (crimping).
  • the object of the invention is to propose a method of this type, with which the contact of the wires of the flexible electrical conductor is improved to the connection element of a corresponding electrical component.
  • the object of the invention is achieved by the fact that a contact element made of a corrosion-resistant metal alloy is applied to the front side of the stripped conductor end in an intermetallic manner, which is brought into a tensile and electrically conductive connection with the tubular connection element of the component.
  • Another method according to claim 4 for the solution of the invention task is to insert the stripped conductor end with its frontally connected contact element in the tubular connection element and set by an externally through the tubular connection element, such as a bore, introduced solder joint.
  • the stripped conductor element is welded with its frontally connected contact element frontally on the tubular connection element of the electrically conductive component, preferably by resistance welding in the manner of butt welding or friction welding.
  • FIG. 1 is designated by the numeral 1 battery terminal, which is an electrically conductive component, manufactured in a pressing process, wherein the connection to a battery, the terminal lug 14 is used, on which a tubular connecting element 11 is formed.
  • a flexible electrical conductor 2 which consists of wires or strands 21 made of an aluminum alloy, is surrounded by a jacket 22.
  • the stripped end 23 of this conductor is surrounded by a support sleeve 4, preferably also made of an aluminum alloy.
  • a cylindrical contact element 5 is applied with a resistance welding.
  • This prepared conductor end 23 with the intermetallically connected contact element 5 is inserted into the tubular connection element 11 and fastened in the region of the correspondingly formed with an outer groove contact element 5 with a crimp 12. Due to the design of the battery terminal 1, a cavity 13 remains in front of the contact element 5. In this connection, the electrical contact essentially takes place in the region of the crimping of the contact element 5. By this type of fastening, the conductor 2 is secured with a secure electrical contact in the housing tubular connecting element 11.
  • FIG. 2 is the end face on the stripped conductor end 23, which is also enclosed with a support sleeve 11, a disc-like contact element 105 with an intermetallic compound, such as a resistance welding, applied.
  • This conductor end 23 with the support sleeve 4 and the contact element 105 is only partially inserted into the tubular connection element 11 of the battery terminal 1.
  • Solder material 6 is introduced into the chamber 3 provided for this purpose via a bore 15 in the tubular connection element 11, so that in this case the fixing and the electrical contacting of the stripped conductor end 23 via the intermetallically bonded plate 105 and the soldering material 6 with the corresponding contact surfaces of the Battery terminal 1 is done.
  • FIG. 3 there is also the possibility of the stripped conductor end 23, which is enclosed with a support sleeve 4, in turn, the contact element 105 to attach intermetallically connected end.
  • the end-side end of the tubular connection element 11 of the electrically conductive component for example a battery terminal, which is designated by the numeral 101, is fastened to this contact element 5 with resistance welding.
  • each contact elements are placed intermetallically connected to the end faces of a stripped conductor end. With these contact elements, a secure electrical contact can be made to the adjacent electrically conductive component.
