Summary:The invention relates to a method for connecting at least one electrical contact element (3) to a flat conductor (1) for a vehicle electrical system of a motor vehicle, comprising the following steps: providing the at least one electrical contact element (3), which has a contact region (6) for contacting a further contact element, and which is produced at least from a stainless steel plate (S) with a curved section (7), which protrudes beyond the rest of the stainless steel plate (S); arranging the electrical contact element (3) on the flat conductor (1) with its curved section (7); carrying out a friction welding process, in which a relative movement of the curved section (7) of the electrical contact element (3) arranged on the flat conductor (1) relative to the flat conductor (1) is brought about by a friction welding tool, and a welded joint is thereby produced between the flat conductor (1) and the electrical contact element (3).
