METHOD FOR CREATING AN ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTIVE CONNECTION BETWEEN AN ELECTRIC TERMINAL DEVICE, SUCH AS A CABLE SHOE AND A SHEET METAL PART, FIXING ELEMENT AND ASSEMBLED COMPONENT

摘要

The connection method uses a hollow fixing element (10) which is riveted to the sheet metal component so that an electrical connection is provided between them, the obtained component assembly provided with a non-conductive protective coating, e.g. a lacquer coating or a powder coating. A seating for the cable shoe is provided adjacent the end face of the hollow fixing element facing towards the cable shoe, for preventing the rotation of the latter relative to the fixing element and the sheet metal component, a self-tapping screw of the cable shoe securing it to the hollow fixing element. Also included are Independent claims for the following: (a) a hollow fixing element for providing an electrical connection between a cable shoe and a sheet metal component; (b) a component assembly of a sheet metal component and a hollow fixing element
