METHOD AND DEVICE FOR APPLYING AN ELECTRICAL TERMINAL TO ONE OR MORE ELECTRICAL CONDUCTORS, WHETHER INSULATED OR NOT, AND ELECTRICAL TERMINAL SUITABLE FOR THIS PURPOSE
The invention provides a method for applying an electrical terminal (200) to one or more conductors (400), possibly provided with an external electrical insulation layer, comprising the following steps: placing the end portions (400t) of the conductors (400) in a housing portion (202) of the terminal (200); applying heat and pressure in such a way as to compact and/or join the end portions (400t) of the conductors (400) and the housing portion (202) of the electrical terminal (200) and to remove any respective electrical insulation layers at least at the level of the housing portion (202) of the electrical terminal (200). Said housing portion (202) of the electrical terminal (200) is channel-shaped with cross section substantially in the shape of a U or a V or a similar shape with two opposite walls (206, 207). The application of pressure and heat causes the opposite walls (206, 207) to close on the end portions (400t) of the conductors (400). Said electrical terminal (200) comprises an electrical connection
