  • Patent number: 11509107
    Abstract: A method for producing a multi-core cable includes arranging first and second contact elements in a contact carrier having first and second longitudinal channels connecting a contacting side to a cable side, and first and second through-openings respectively crossing the first and second longitudinal channels, and a second through-opening crossing the second longitudinal channel. The first and second longitudinal channels and the first and second through-openings are sealed in a fluid-tight manner by inserting two first sealing pieces into the first through-opening and two second sealing pieces into the second through-opening. In an injection-molding method, a connecting piece is formed connecting the contact carrier to the outer sheath of the cable by overmolding at least a rear section of the contact carrier comprising the first and second through-openings and a section of the cable protruding on the cable side.

  • Patent number: 11488745
    Abstract: A shielded electrical cable includes conductor sets extending along a length of the cable and spaced apart from each other along a width of the cable. First and second shielding films are disposed on opposite sides of the cable and include cover portions and pinched portions arranged such that, in transverse cross section, the cover portions of the films in combination substantially surround each conductor set. An adhesive layer bonds the shielding films together in the pinched portions of the cable. A transverse bending of the cable at a cable location of no more than 180 degrees over an inner radius of at most 2 mm causes a cable impedance of the selected insulated conductor proximate the cable location to vary by no more than 2 percent from an initial cable impedance measured at the cable location in an unbent configuration.
