Abstract

An electrical component has an electrical cable and an electrical functional unit undetachably connected at an end side. The electrical cable has a metallic conductor and a plastic insulating sleeve surrounding the conductor. The electrical functional unit has an insulator housing injection-molded onto the plastic insulating sleeve, and an electrical functional element accommodated in the insulator housing and with which contact is made by the conductor. The plastic insulating sleeve is in a ring zone covered by the insulator housing, structured on its outer surface in an encircling manner by laser processing with a groove pattern and raised portions between the grooves. The insulator housing has a pattern formed during injection-molding by the groove pattern of the insulating sleeve, having webs which enter grooves and are anchored such that the insulator housing and insulating sleeve are permanently sealed from one another in respect of liquid media in the ring zone.
