Abstract:
A method for producing a module of a current path of a switching device, the module including a rigid contact body and a flexible conductor piece including component conductors, the method comprising:subjecting a first part-length of a section of a semifinished product, the semifinished product having a form of one of a litz wire and a stranded conductor including component conductors, to mechanical compression by means of a pressing force up to a flow limit, the mechanical compression transforming the component conductors to a solid body; forming the flexible conductor piece by a second part-length of the section of said semifinished product, not subjected to the compression; and bringing the first part-length into contact with a bearing face of an end part of the rigid contact body by way of the pressing force, and wherein the pressing force creates a laminar connection between the solid body and the end part of the rigid contact body.
