Abstract: A device for providing an electrical contact to a coaxial cable's outer conductor bared in sections, the device including a body adapted to abut the element to be contacted when in a mounted position, the body consisting at least partially of an elastic material containing at least one at least partially vulcanized ethylene-propylene rubber material.

Abstract: The invention related to a device (2) to set up an electrically conducting contact, and in particular, of an elongated, illustratively, a substantially cylindrical body, for instance a pipe or a cable, and comprises a base structure (4) to rest against the body (42) to be contacted and a contact element (40) held at a side of the base structure (4) which in the assembly position faces the body (42) to be contacted, this contact element implementing an electrically conducting connection with the body (42) to be contacted. The invention provides adjusting means to adjust the position of the contact element (40) relative to the edges of the base structure (4). The invention reliably precludes, at manufacture of the device (2), that there will be slippage of, or projection by the contact element (40) beyond the edge of the base structure (4) when the contact element (40) is affixed to the base structure (4). This feature simplifies manufacture and saves the time and costs of refinishing work.
