A method for the electrical contacting of wires

The invention relates to a method for the electrical contacting of wires (1), wherein a plurality of wires (1) in a connecting region (2) are joined together. According to the invention it is proposed that an electrically conductive contact element (15; 15a-15e) is provided in a contact region (16) with the wires (1) in operative connection with the wires (1) is arranged and that at least in the contact region (16) an electromagnetic pulse (3) to the wires (1) and the contact element (15; 15a-15e) is introduced, a non-positive or material connection between at least one wire (1) and the contact element (15; 15a-15e ) generated.
