Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A high-current electrical connector comprises a stranded wire and a connecting piece. The stranded wire has a longitudinal end section. The longitudinal end section of the stranded wire is incorporated in a material of the connecting piece.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An electrical connector assembly for an accumulator or a battery, comprising: an electrical connector including a stranded wire having a longitudinal end section and a connecting piece, the longitudinal end section of the stranded wire is incorporated in a material of the connecting piece; a jacket electrically insulating a central region of the electrical connector; and a capsule electrically insulating a longitudinal end region of the electrical connector, the capsule including a pair of insulating shells attachable to one another. 2. The electrical connector assembly of claim 1 , further comprising an electrical contact received in one of the pair of insulating shells, the electrical contact having an electrical contact portion exposed on a side of the insulating shell. 3. The electrical connector assembly of claim 2 , wherein the electrical connector is entirely encapsulated in a width direction, a height direction, and a longitudinal direction except for the electrical contact portion. 4. The electrical connector assembly of claim 1 , wherein the connecting piece is a solid bus bar. 5. The electrical connector assembly of claim 1 , wherein the longitudinal end section of the stranded wire is incorporated in a longitudinal end section of the connecting piece. 6. The electrical connector assembly of claim 1 , wherein a transition structure including both the stranded wire and the connecting piece is formed between the stranded wire and the connecting piece. 7. The electrical connector assembly of claim 6 , wherein, in the transition structure, the material of the connecting piece is located between a plurality of strands of the stranded wire. 8. The electrical connector assembly of claim 1 , wherein the connecting piece extends from the stranded wire along a longitudinal direction of the stranded wire. 9. The electrical connector assembly of claim 1 , wherein the connecting piece is molded onto the longitudinal end section of the stranded wire. 10. The electrical connector assembly of claim 1 , wherein the stranded wire is formed of a copper material or an aluminum material.
