ABSTRACT:
A junction between a flexible conductor and a connection terminal is disclosed. The junction includes a connection terminal that is shaped substantially like a parallelepiped and has an upper face and a lower face, a pair of side faces and an end face. The connection terminal includes, on the end face, one or more slots shaped substantially like a parallelepiped, which run through the entire thickness of the connection terminal. The junction further includes at least one flexible conductor, in which one end part is shaped so as to mate substantially with the inner walls of the slots. The end part of the flexible conductor is inserted in the slots and cold coined, and the flexible conductor protrudes substantially at right angles from one of the upper, lower or end faces. At least one laser welding bead runs across the two slots along two of the faces from which the flexible conductor does not protrude.
