Abstract

A connection element for mechanical and electrical connection to a contact element of an electrical storage cell comprises a contact receptacle and a clamping device. The contact receptacle is open in a set-on direction and receives a portion of the contact element. The clamping device extends into the contact receptacle in a press-on position of the clamping device. The clamping device is formed from a shape memory alloy transferable by a phase transformation into the press-on position.
