Der in den Fig. 1 - 3 dargestellte Steckverbinder 1 besteht im wesentlichen aus einem Kontaktelemente 2 enthaltenden Isolierkörper 3, der mit einem metallischen Abschirmgehäuse 4 versehen ist. Der Isolierkörper ist mit seitlichen Befestigungsflanschen 5 versehen. Das Abschirmgehäuse ist im unteren Bereich etwa U-förmig, den Isolierkörper übergreifend ausgebildet und erstreckt sich bis über die Flansche.The connector 1 shown in FIGS. 1-3 essentially consists of an insulating body 3 containing contact elements 2, which is provided with a metallic shielding housing 4. The insulating body is provided with side mounting flanges 5. The shielding housing is approximately U-shaped in the lower area, extends over the insulating body and extends over the flanges.

Die Flansche 5 sind mit einer derart geformten Ausnehmung 6 versehen, daß das in der Fig. 5 in verschiedenen Ansichten dargestellte Befestigungsteil 7 darin einlegbar ist.
Das Befestigungsteil ist etwa T-förmig ausgebildet und besteht aus elektrisch leitendem Material. Das obere Teil 8 des Befestigungsteils ist im wesentlichen rechteckig und mit zwei gegenüberliegenden Ausnehmungen 9 versehen, wobei vier nach außen weisende Arme 10 ausgebildet sind. Die Länge der Arme ist dabei so bemessen, daß diese sich nach dem Einfügen des Befestigungsteils in die entsprechend geformte Ausnehmung 6 im Flansch bis zur Außenseite des Flansches erstrecken. Durch die formschlüssige Aufnahme des Befestigungsteils im Flansch ist gewährleistet, daß dieses sich beim Anschrauben des Steckverbinders nicht drehen kann.
Nach unten hat das Befestigungsteil einen Zapfen 11 und ist mit einer durchgehenden Gewindebohrung 12 versehen.The flanges 5 are provided with a recess 6 shaped in such a way that the fastening part 7 shown in different views in FIG. 5 can be inserted therein.
The fastening part is approximately T-shaped and consists of an electrically conductive material. The upper part 8 of the fastening part is essentially rectangular and is provided with two opposite recesses 9, four arms 10 pointing outwards being formed. The length of the arms is dimensioned such that they extend to the outside of the flange after the fastening part has been inserted into the correspondingly shaped recess 6 in the flange. Through the form-fitting Inclusion of the fastening part in the flange ensures that it cannot turn when the connector is screwed on.
At the bottom, the fastening part has a pin 11 and is provided with a continuous threaded bore 12.

Nach dem Einfügen des Befestigungsteils in den Flansch wird bei der Herstellung des Steckverbinders das Abschirmgehäuse 4 über den Isolierkörper 3 gestülpt. Das Abschirmgehäuse hat im Bereich der Arme 10 des Befestigungsteils jeweils freigeschnittene Lappen 13, die einwärts geprägt werden und dabei unter die Arme drücken, und das Befestigungsteil zunächst arretieren, so daß dieses unverlierbar im Flansch gehalten ist.
Wie in der Fig. 3 erkennbar, ist der Zapfen 11 des Befestigungsteils nur so lang ausgebildet, daß zwischen dessen Unterseite 14 und der Unterseite 15 des Flansches ein geringer Spalt bzw. Abstand verbleibt. Beim Aufsetzen und Anschrauben des Steckverbinders an eine Befestigungsfläche, wie z. B. eine Leiterplatte 16, wird das Befestigungsteil gegen die Leiterplatte gezogen, wobei die Kanten 17 der Arme gegen die federelastischen Lappen 13 gedrückt werden und dabei eine gute elektrische Verbindung zwischen den Lappen/dem Abschirmgehäuse und dem Befestigungsteil herstellen. Die elektrische Verbindung zur Befestigungsfläche/Leiterplatte erfolgt entweder durch direktes Aufpressen der Unterseite des Befestigungsteils auf die Befestigungsfläche oder über die Befestigungsschraube 18 und deren Kopf, der kontaktgebend an der Unterseite der Befestigungsfläche/Leiterplatte anliegt.After the fastening part has been inserted into the flange, the shielding housing 4 is placed over the insulating body 3 during the production of the connector. The shielding housing has in the region of the arms 10 of the fastening part each cut-out tabs 13, which are embossed and thereby press under the arms, and first lock the fastening part so that it is held captively in the flange.
As can be seen in FIG. 3, the pin 11 of the fastening part is only so long that a small gap or distance remains between its underside 14 and the underside 15 of the flange. When fitting and screwing the connector onto a mounting surface, such as. B. a circuit board 16, the fastener is pulled against the circuit board, the edges 17 of the arms are pressed against the resilient tabs 13 and thereby establish a good electrical connection between the tabs / the shielding housing and the fastening part. The electrical connection to the mounting surface / printed circuit board is made either by directly pressing the underside of the fastening part onto the mounting surface or via the mounting screw 18 and its head, which is in contact with the underside of the mounting surface / printed circuit board.

In der Fig. 6 ist eine modifizierte Kontaktierung des Befestigungsteils 7 dargestellt. Dabei sind die Lappen 13' entgegengesetzt zu dem in den Fig. 1 und 3 dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel freigeschnitten. Auch diese Lappen 13' werden nach dem Einfügen des Befestigungsteils einwärts gebogen. Dabei gelangen deren freie Enden 19 unter die Unterseite 20 der Arme 10 des Befestigungsteils und die Kanten der Lappen werden dagegen gepreßt.
Hierbei wird beim späteren Anschrauben des Steckverbinders eine gute elektrische Verbindung zwischen den Lappen/dem Abschirmgehäuse und dem Befestigungsteil erreicht.6 shows a modified contacting of the fastening part 7. The flaps 13 'are cut away opposite to the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 3. These flaps 13 'are also bent inwards after the fastening part has been inserted. The free ends 19 get under the underside 20 of the arms 10 of the fastening part and the edges of the tabs are pressed against it.
This is a good thing when screwing on the connector later electrical connection between the tabs / the shield housing and the fastening part reached.
