A tube conductor (6), for example made of copper, is interconnected to a connector housing (10), for example made of aluminun alloy, by stuffing an insert (8), for example a steel ball, into the tube. The steel ball expands the tube and clamps it in the cavity (12) of the housing (10). 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 (8).
