1. Method for establishing a connection between an electrical connecting element for a motor vehicle on-board network and a cable of the motor vehicle on-board network, comprising:
providing the cable having a metallic stranded conductor;
first, mechanically compacting the metallic stranded conductor in such a way that a flat area extending in a longitudinal direction of the conductor is formed with a degree of compaction of between 70% and 100%, wherein during the compaction a material bond is formed between strands of the stranded conductor along the longitudinal direction, and wherein the flat area is compacted by a welding of the strands of the stranded conductor; and
wherein during the compacting bare strands of the metallic stranded conductor are pressed against each other in the flat area and welded to each other in the flat area,
then welding the electrical connecting element to the flat area with a material bond.
