A stranded conductor (2), comprising individual wires (4) which consist of an aluminium core (5) covered with a relatively thin copper layer (6), is provided with a contact element in such a manner that the relatively thin copper layers (6) are not damaged by pushing a tube (7) closed at one end over the end of the conductor (2), and thereafter firmly joining a contact element (9) to the stranded conductor (2) by being struck or crimped on. This prevents destruction of the conductor (2) by corrosion. A conductor (2) with such a contact element can be used, for example, as a battery cable in a motor vehicle. <IMAGE> |
