Abstract
In order to compress electric conductors (22) like strands by means of ultrasonics and/or weld them together in a joining knot it is suggested that the sonotrode (10) of an ultrasonic welding device has a surface (18) preferably positioned centrally above or below the longitudinal axis of the sonotrode (14), which surface being coordinated with a surface (20) of an anvil (12) for the upper and lower bounding of a compression chamber (24) for the lodging of the conductors (22). The compression chamber (24) is laterally limited by cheeks of which at least one is movably designed.
