  • Patent number: 11515661
    Abstract: A plug arrangement for use with cables (K) having cable plugs (S) comprises a housing (1) for receiving the cable plug (S), a clamping element (5) encompassing the cable (K) and accommodated in the housing (1), which clamping element (5) clamps, in a compressed state, the cable (K), and a clamping sleeve (3) for establishing a threaded connection with the housing (1). When the threaded connection is tightened, the clamping element (5) is braced in the housing (1) and the cable (K) is clamped in the clamping element (5). The front end of the clamping element (5) facing the cable plug (S) is configured for receiving and positioning the cable plug (S) in a predetermined position at the front end of the clamping element (5) or is provided with at least one stop for the cable plug (S). Thus, when the threaded connection is tightened, the cable plug (S) is also positioned with respect to the housing (1) and the clamping element (5) so as not to rotate and fixed.

  • Patent number: 10823919
    Abstract: A plug-in connector part for a plug-in connection, the plug-in connector part including a housing having first and second housing parts which are screw-connected together by a releasable screw connection. A fixed toothing is fixed on the first housing part and a locking ring and a preload spring are mounted on the second housing part. The locking ring is mounted on the second housing part so as to be displaceable and the preload spring preloads the locking ring in a direction toward an engagement position and the locking ring engages in the fixed toothing in the engagement position. With the locking ring in the engagement position, the screw connection is blocked in the connected state to prevent the screw connection being unscrewed. The locking ring is movable to a release position where the screw connection is rotatable in the connected state for unscrewing.
