Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for producing a cable lug and a cable lug for electrically connecting a cable to a current-carrying element.
- tubular cable lugs are usually flat-pressed tubes at the gland side.
- the resulting cable connection sleeve typically has to be front-sealed at the front.
- sealing is an error-prone process step, requiring 100% gas tightness testing.
- conventional tubular cable lugs have the disadvantage that they are only partially gas-tight or further process steps are required to ensure their tightness.
- Two-component cable lugs are known which typically include an aluminum cable termination sleeve having a friction contact-bonded copper contactor.
- these known two-component cable lugs are characterized by a relatively complicated structure.
- flat cable lugs made of copper or brass with and without iso-crimp are known.
- the ultrasonic welding node is typically protected by encapsulation or encapsulation.
- this is relatively complicated and expensive.
- An embodiment of a cable lug known from the document EP 2 621 021 A1 is produced in one piece from a CUPAL pipe. During finishing, this tube is processed in an end region such that the aluminum layer is removed on the inside, in particular by unscrewing. Further, in finishing, the opposite end portion on the outside is machined to remove the copper layer of the pipe, particularly by twisting.

- the tubular receptacle 36 is formed such that the end of the aluminum cable is inserted into the same.
- the cable lug 28 is formed such that the inserted end of the aluminum cable is electrically connectable to the inner side 39 of the tubular receptacle 36 by ultrasonic welding.
- the end-side contact portion 30 has a flat contact portion 32 with a punched-out hole 34. This is particularly the case if hole punching has also occurred in step S14.
