Appeal 2007-2580
Application 10/290,267
1. An arrangement for attaching a plug-in connector
to a shielded electric line, said line having a core with at least
one insulated conductor, a shield comprising a braid made of
metallic wires applied over said core, a sheath made of
insulating material enclosing the shield, and a tubular, metallic
contact element, against the external surface of which the shield
of the line abuts all around and through which the core of the
line is guided, the plug-in connector includes a plug side and is
positioned in a pot-shaped metallic housing which surrounds
the plug-in connector over its entire length and leaves said plug
side free, the contact element comprises:
a tube connector projecting through a wall of the
housing, said tube connector having an extension at its end
lying in the housing which is integral with the tube connector,
wherein
said extension protrudes outwards with a perpendicular
transition from the tube connector and presses against the wall
tightly and solidly within the housing,
the shield is fixed to the tube connector via a crimp
sleeve pressed over the tube connector projecting out of the
housing, and
the crimp sleeve is in a mounting position so as to abut
tightly to the outside of said wall of the housing.
The prior art references of record relied upon by the Examiner in
