Abstract

An ultrasonic welding device includes a sonotrode, an anvil, a touching element, a lateral slide, a stop element and a receiving chamber in which joining partners are received and which is defined by bordering components of the ultrasonic welding device. The receiving chamber is defined on a first side by the sonotrode and on a second side by the anvil. The receiving chamber is further defined on a third side by the touching element and on a fourth side by the lateral slide. The receiving chamber is further defined on a fifth side, extending transverse to the first to fourth sides, by the stop element. The first stop element is electrically conductive on its surface directed toward the receiving chamber in order to form a first electrode.
