Abstract

A method and device for making multiple connections between electrical conductors surrounded by external insulators in overlapping flexible cables by ultrasonic welding. Overlapping conductors to be connected are arranged on a surface of a carrier disposed between a sonotrode and an electrode, the sonotrode and electrode are sequentially aligned the with overlapping points to be welded, and the conductors are ultrasonically welded at each of the overlapping points. The carrier either includes the electrode at least in designated areas, or includes penetrations constructed and arranged to receive an electrode in designated areas.
