A splice assembly for engaging a conductor includes a brush configured to engage the conductor. The brush includes a housing having a first portion and a second portion. The housing defines a housing axis extending between the first portion and the second portion. The first portion defines a cavity having an open end. The second portion defines a bore. A diameter of the cavity is larger than a diameter of the bore. The cavity and the bore are configured to receive the conductor therethrough. The brush further includes a brush member secured within the cavity and positioned proximate the open end.

The invention relates to an electrical functional component (01) having at least one electrically conductive conductor strip (02), at least one contact pin (03) being arranged on the conductor strip (02), said contact pin (03) being able to be contacted with a contact element complementary in function, in particular a plug or a socket, and a contact zone being provided between the conductor strip (02) and the contact pin (03), said contact zone electrically connecting the conductor strip (02) and the contact pin (03) to each other, the electrically conductive contact zone being formed in the type of an annular cold-pressure-welded transition zone (11), the surface material of the conductor strip (02) and/or the surface material of the contact pin (03) comprising at least one cold-working area (12, 14) in the transition zone (11), a welding zone (13) being provided at least in sections on or in at least one cold-working zone (12, 14), the contact pin (03) and the conductor strip (02) being connected to each other in the welding zone (13) in an electrically conductive manner by material bonding.
