Abstract

A method for creating electrical contact between a first superconductive strip conductor and a further electrical conductor element, wherein the first superconductive strip conductor is placed in flat contact against a first main surface of a reactive multilayer film in a contact area of the strip conductor, the second main surface, facing away from the first main surface, of the reactive multilayer film is placed in flat contact against the further electrical conductor element, and a permanent electrically conductive connection is formed between the first superconductive strip conductor and the further electrical conductor element by subsequently igniting an exothermic chemical reaction in the multilayer film. An electrical conductor assembly is able to be contacted using such a method.
