  • Patent number: 9444191
    Abstract: A shielded plug connector for use with a cable having a plurality of conductors surrounded by a shield braid has an electrically nonconductive contact support and an electrically conductive shield sleeve surrounding the contact support. Respective contact members at ends of the electrical conductors are held in the shield sleeve. An electrically conductive one-piece shield shell extends from the shield braid at an end of the cable to the contact support surrounded by the shield sleeve in electrical contact with the shield sleeve and is formed along the cable with a throughgoing slot so as to be radially compressible. A compression ring or the like compresses the shield shell inward at the slot against the cable and the shield braid thereof.

  • Publication number: 20140235101
    Abstract: Shielded plug connector and method for producing a shielded plug connector having an assembly comprising a contact carrier (3) surrounded by a shielding sleeve (9), in which contact partners arranged at the end of electrical conductors of a cable (2) having a shielding braid (7) are arranged, wherein a shield casing, which is formed by the shielding sleeve (9) and by a shielding shell (10) extending from one end of the cable (2), extends from the end of the cable (2) to the contact carrier (3), characterised in that the shielding shell (10) is integrally formed and is fixed on the cable (2) in a press fit.

  • Patent number: 7699658
    Abstract: A connection adapter is configured and shaped to be connected between the connection side of a sensor or of an actuator and the input side of a plug connector in order to adapt different plug faces of the sensor or actuator and of the plug connector to each other. The connection adapter has a plug base facing toward the plug connector and with contact chambers and comprises a fastening area facing toward the sensor or actuator.

  • Publication number: 20050042922
    Abstract: A plug and jack connection can have a housing which is electrically conductive, e.g. by the incorporation of conductive particles in a synthetic resin from which the housing is molded, electrically connected with a cable shield, so that upon connection of the plug and jack, there will be continuity of shielding across the connector.
