PCT No. PCT/IB97/00342 Sec. 371 Date Sep. 2, 1998 Sec. 102(e) Date Sep. 2, 1998 PCT Filed Apr. 3, 1997 PCT Pub. No. WO97/38466 PCT Pub. Date Oct. 16, 1997A tube conductor, for example made in copper, is interconnected to a connector housing, for example made of aluminum alloy, by stuffing an insert, for example a steel ball, into the tube. The steel ball expands the tube and clamps it in the cavity of the housing. This construction enables elastic energy to be stored that increases the reliability and lifetime operation of the connector. It also enables a copper conductor to be reliably connected to aluminum connector, even though their thermal expansion coefficients differ, by suitable choice of material and dimensioning of the insert. |
