  • Patent number: 9219336
    Abstract: A method for producing a plug-in connector includes stripping a cable on a free end in a first and second region of a sheath of the cable, where a shield is disposed below the sheath on the cable. The method includes disposing a first electrically conductive spring element in the first region, and removing the sheath and the shield from the second region, thereby forming an end portion of the free end of the cable on which exposed wires of the cable are disposed. The method includes disposing contact elements on the exposed wires, and disposing a shield sleeve around the first electrically conductive spring element. The method includes fastening the shield sleeve on the sheath before and after the first electrically conductive spring element, and providing an insulating housing such that the insulating housing at least partially surrounds the shield sleeve and the free end of the cable.

  • Patent number: 9172179
    Abstract: A cable connection component for electrically conductively connecting a cable, having a union nut with an internal thread and a core receiving and guiding part with a plurality of incisions. At least one core and core insulation inserted into the core receiving and guiding part are severed by terminals arranged in the connection body and enter the incisions in the core receiving and guiding part and contact is made with the core conductors when a first thread of the union nut is screwed onto a connection body. A connected cable can be released with less effort by the union nut having a second internal thread with a thread pitch that is less than the thread pitch of the first internal thread. The core receiving and guiding part has a radially running collar which is matched to the profile of the threading of the second internal thread and interacts with it.
