  • Well machinable metal sheets are particularly suitable, for example made of brass, copper, aluminum or iron. These metal sheets can be used to increase electrical Conductivity can also be coated accordingly, e.g. by tinning, silvering or gold plating.
  • Shielding also plays a role preferably formed in one piece in all cases. Is the Shield formed in several parts and / or includes other parts, e.g. an integrated housing cover, the connection must be of good electrical conductivity, for example by plugging, jamming, welding or the like
  • the shield consists of a rigidly formed Shield connection on the cable, which is also rigid laterally open shield housing and a die sheet metal from both rigid components electrically conductive metal.
  • This shield can also punched out in one piece from a sheet and for example be folded with a suitable folding device.
  • Target bending areas are formed by the location concerned the sheet cross-section is reduced. It is about make sure that the sheet is bent as round as possible, not folded becomes what is promoted by round punching lines.
  • the flexibly designed sheet between a stiff one Shield connection and a rigid shield housing can with all the bendable sheet mentioned functionally equivalent means are fulfilled, which for lead to the same result, with or without predetermined bending points, for example with a three-dimensional flexible metal bellows.
  • Shielding housing and housing cover form one protective metal cage for all exposed conductors and their connecting element.
  • the attached housing cover preferably fulfills one further function by using the flexibly designed sheet the shield connection so that when turning the Another area is bent than at opened housing cover.
  • Fig. 1 is the metallic shield 10 of a socket insert shown for an RF connector system, which Shielding essentially from a viewing direction shield housing 12 open on both sides, a shield connection 14 for a cable 16 (Fig. 2) and a flexible one Sheet 18 is made.
  • Shield housing 12, shield connection 14 and flexibly designed sheet 18 are by multiple folding formed in one piece, in the present case from one Iron sheet with an approximately 0.3 mm thick, electrolytically applied Tin coating, which is a good one ensures electrical conductivity and on the other hand also offers corrosion protection.
  • the shielding housing 12 has a plurality of latching tabs 20, which serve for locking with a housing cover 22 (Fig. 4).
  • the housing cover locked several times with the shielding housing 12 forms 14 when the shield connection is closed, 4, a closed metallic cage, which is dimensionally stable despite the many folds.
  • the shield connection 14 is essentially U-shaped, with two foldable crimp tabs 24, which are the attachment serve a cable, not shown in Fig. 1.
  • the shield connection 14 with the folded crimp tabs 24 forms a rigid grip on the cable.
  • the flexible sheet 18 is along a first Target bending area 26 bent.
  • a second predetermined bending area 28 remains straight for the time being.
  • Material, geometric The shape and bending process are adapted so that no bending edges increasing the transfer resistance, but Radii of curvature arise.
  • Part of the shield housing 12 is also a subsequent one Housing 30 in the contact area of the socket insert and connector. When pulling a cable into the housing no assembly work is done, this area is pre-wired by the supplier. On the other hand, it can be clearly seen from FIG. 1 that that the interior of the shield case 12 at bent back shield connection 14 for assembly work three sides is completely free.
  • Fig. 2 shows an equipped socket insert with essentially Fig. 1 corresponding shield 10.
