An electrical connector includes a compression device defining an aperture and is configured to receive a first portion of a base row of wires and a first portion of a core of an electrical conductor within the aperture. An outer tube defines a central through hole and is configured to receive the compression device within the central through hole. A first end of the outer tube is configured to be compressed around the first end of the compression device, and a first portion of the core of the associated electrical conductor to create a compressed assembly. The compressed assembly is contiguous with a second portion of the base row of wires and a second portion of the core of the associated electrical conductor.

A method for producing an electrical line arrangement with an electrical conductor and an electrical contact element to be connected thereto includes preparation of the exposed conductor, affixing of a casing open on its two front sides up to the exposed conductor, and forming of a first firmly bonded connection between the exposed conductor and an interior perimeter section of the casing by friction stir welding, by introducing a reaming tool from one front side into the casing and rotating the tool relative to the casing and to the conductor. Additionally, the method includes forming of a second firmly bonded connection between the casing and the contact element.
