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.

A car window glass includes a glass plate having a conductor layer, a connection terminal, and a power line. The connection terminal includes metal-plate first and second join parts joined to the conductor layer via the first and second solder layers, a metal-plate bridge section connected to the first and second join parts and spaced apart from the conductor layer, and a fixing part for fixing the power line to a bridge section main surface. The power line extends from the fixing part along a glass plate main surface, and the side opposite of the side facing the glass plate main surface is free of the bridge section, and the starting point of the power line extending from the fixing part is positioned in the upper direction of a virtual line connecting the center portions of the first and second join parts with each other.

An electrical connector includes an insulative housing and a plurality of power contact pairs. The insulative housing has a plurality of contact-receiving passageways extending along a front-and-back direction. The power contact pairs are mounted in the corresponding contact-receiving passageways and divided into two opposite rows in a height direction according to contacting portions. Each power contact pair in each row has a first power contact and a second power contact, each one of the first power contact and the second power contact defines a flaky retaining portion held in the relative contact-receiving passageway and a number of contacting portions extending forwards from a front end of the retaining portion. A gap is formed between two adjacent contacting portions of the first power contact, and at least a part of one contacting portion of the second power contact extends through the gap of the first power contact.

The present invention relates to an electrical connection between a flat part and a connecting part, in which the flat part and the connecting part are arranged one above the other in an overlap region, in which the contact surface of the flat part facing the connecting part in the overlap region is structured in relief-like fashion and that the flat part is friction-welded, in particular ultrasonically welded, to the connecting part via the structured contact surface.
