Method for connecting flat film cables

The invention relates to a method for connecting two flat laminated cable ends. In a method for connecting two flat laminated cable ends, a metal strip, tin-plated with a solder coating, is placed transversely over the conductor tracks between the two flat laminated cable ends which have been stripped of insulation on one side. The flat laminated cable ends are pressed onto each other with the tin-plated metal strip lying in between, and current is applied to the metal strip. The latter is heated until the solder of the metal strip melts and enters into a soldered connection with the conductor tracks of the flat laminated cables. The metal strip is then separated in the intermediate spaces between two neighboring conductor tracks.
