  • Patent number: 10916892
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a shielded electric connector for connecting or distributing shielded electric lines or plug connectors with one another, and to methods for producing the shielded electric connector. Connector elements belong to a line or to a plug connector. Shielding sleeves or shielding housings of the lines and/or of the plug connectors are surrounded by a shielding housing, which consists of a cast metal body that has been cast in situ onto annular regions of the shielding sleeves or shielding housings in order to produce a local anchoring means with low electric contact resistance.

  • Patent number: 10749279
    Abstract: A circular plug-in connector for establishing a shielded plug-in connection to a mating plug-in connector includes: a contact carrier having at least one electrical contact element; a shielding sleeve that surrounds the contact carrier at least in part; and a screw housing that is rotatably connected to the shielding sleeve and adapted to screw the circular plug-in connector to the mating plug-in connector. A connection portion of the shielding sleeve is received in a receiving space of the screw housing The circular plug-in connector provides shielded contact between the screw housing and the shielding sleeve. The shielding sleeve includes a collar in the connection portion. The circular plug-in connector further includes a stopper for closing a receiving opening of the receiving space at least in part, such that the collar is trapped in the receiving space.
