A method is provided for producing an electrically conductive connection between a contact element interacting with a corresponding counter-contact and several electric lines, each of which consists of several wires. The method consists of placing the lines on a contact element supporting surface, controlling the lines integrity, and fixing the lines to the contact elements by resistance welding. In particular, the contact element is provided with crimping elements which surround and/or form a ground cable terminal screwed to a mass bolt.

A temperature sensing device for an internal-combustion engine includes a carrier structure, a first sensor element accommodated on the carrier structure, a second sensor element also accommodated on the carrier structure, an engine air guiding device for feeding an engine intake air flow to the first sensor element, and a radiator air guiding device for feeding a radiator air flow passed through an engine radiator to the second sensor element. By way of a compact constructional unit, which can be preassembled, it is possible to centrally sense the temperatures of the two air flows. The obtained measuring signals can be coupled into a cable tree system provided on the vehicle side while the cabling expenditures are reduced.

In a battery cable clamp for vehicles with a mounting device for a cable end, in which two clamp parts (,) are connected together in an electrically conducting fashion by a pressed connection that can be broken with a high separating force by an auxiliary drive, the pressed connection is composed of a conical contact surface. An explosive capsule (,) may be used to provide the separating forces. A plastic sleeve (,&prime;) may be used to control travel of the expelled clamp part and to prevent accidental reengagement. The explosive capsule may be part of the battery clamp (,) or part of the battery lead (,).

A fuse device for a cable in vehicles, includes a current strength sensor having an evaluation circuit connected downstream, and a severing device for the cable. The severing device disconnecting the cable when a current strength exceeds a limiting value. The sensor, evaluation circuit, and severing device are located in a housing in which a section of the cable also runs.

In an on-board wiring system for vehicles has a battery line for connecting a generator with an energy accumulator and a disconnection switch, actuated as a result of an accident, arranged therein. Additional consuming devices are connected to the energy accumulator by way of a consuming device line. The disconnection switch 2 is constructed such that, in addition to the battery line 3, it also interrupts the consuming device line 9 and in the process also disconnects it from the battery line 3.

Battery cable terminal for vehicles

A device for disconnecting the flow of current in the positive or impregnated battery cable of a motor vehicle has an electrically conductive plug-in connection that can be placed in the positive or impregnated battery cable in the form of a housing and a plug connector. The housing contains a gas generator of the kind used, for example, for belt tighteners. The gas generator is arranged in the housing in such a way that the propellant gas produced when the gas generator is ignited electrically separates the connector from the housing and this in turn interrupts the flow of current in the positive or impregnated battery cable. Consequently, a short circuit that might occur in the event of an accident and which could otherwise lead to damage of the cable tree and then set the vehicle on fire, is avoided in good time.

A connection device consisting basically of a socket member (1) exhibiting a termination area (2) for the connection of an electric cable and a contact area (4) joined to it by means of a base (1a), the contact area being in the form of tines and intended to receive and hold a mating pin (3), and of a separate driver member (5) in the form of a closed ring which is preferably manufactured of heat recoverable material. In order to create an electrical connection device where the driver member being retained against the contact area, creates both a mechanical force and keyed-in connection between the socket member and the mating pin when in its second functional position, a recess which is at least partial formed into the mating pin, and the tines and driver member are formed and positioned relative to each other in such a way that the driver element partially fits into the recess when in its second functional position. In addition, when using a driver member of heat recoverable material, it is advantageous if at least one locking element is provided which prevents unwanted actuation of the driver element when locked, while permitting appropriate actuation when released.
