Claim Text:
1. A device for connecting an electrical conductor to an electrical contact part, comprising: a bending die having a recess, said recess having a bending side arranged opposite a topside of the bending die, said bending side having adjacent arches curved toward the topside, said bending die having an opening extending between the topside and the bending side; a plunger having a support surface supporting the electrical contact part, said plunger being receivable in the recess so as to engage legs of the electrical contact part with the bending side of the bending die, wherein engagement of the bending side with the legs of the contact part effects a bending of the legs toward a center of the contact part, thereby causing legs to force fitting engagement of the legs with a conductor situated between the legs; and a laser welding device arranged relative to the bending die so that a laser beam emitted by the laser welding device is directable through the opening into the recess and onto the contact part so as to effect material connection of at least the legs of the contact part.
