Abstract:
1. A method for making multiple connections between electrical conductors surrounded by external insulators in overlapping flexible cables by ultrasonic welding, comprising the steps of: arranging a plurality of said flexible cables overlapping at a plurality of points at which conductors are to be welded on a surface of a carrier disposed between a sonotrode and an electrode, performing relative movement between the sonotrode and carrier so as to sequentially align the sonotrode and electrode with each of the overlapping points to be welded, and ultrasonically welding the conductors at each of the overlapping points to be welded, wherein the carrier either comprises the electrode at least in designated areas, or comprises penetrations constructed and arranged to receive an electrode in designated areas.
