Sowohl im geschirmten Kabelstecker als auch in der Steckkarte müssen hierzu spezielle Abschirmkontaktteile vorgesehen sein. Der jeweilige Montageaufwand bei der Herstellung sowohl des Kabelsteckers als auch der Steckkarte ist durch das Verbinden dieser gesonderten Abschirmkontaktteile mit dem betreffenden Schirmgehäuse erheblich. Dieser Montageaufwand setzt sich auch bei der Verkabelung fort. Die gesonderten Verbindungen zwischen dem jeweiligen Schirmgehäuse und den gesonderten Abschirmkontakten ergibt zusätzliche elektrische Übergänge, die eine Erhöhung des Übergangswiderstandes zur Folge haben.Both in the shielded cable connector and in the The plug-in card must have special shielding contact parts for this be provided. The respective assembly effort at Manufacture of both the cable connector and the plug-in card is separate by connecting these Shield contact parts with the relevant shield housing considerably. This assembly effort also applies to the Cabling continued. The separate connections between the respective shield housing and the separate Shielding contacts results in additional electrical transitions, which result in an increase in the contact resistance.

Durch die in EP-A-0 573 126 offenbarten Maßnahmen ist bei geschirmten Kabelsteckern der aufwendige Vorgang der Verbindung von Schirmgehäuse und Abschirmkontakt vermieden, da das Schirmgehäuse in Form von einer oder mehreren Abschirmkontaktlaschen lediglich verlängert ist. Die Abschirmkontaktübergabe von der Abschirmung des verwendeten Kabels auf ein anderes Bauteil durch den Kabelstecker ist durch einfachen Crimpanschluß und ohne weitere elektrische Übergänge möglich. Bei der Kombination aus geschirmtem Kabelstecker und Steckkarte ist durch dieser Maßnahmen eine durchgehende Schirmung von der Abschirmung des verwendeten Kabels bis zur Steckkarte ohne Zusatzteile und ohne weitere elektrische Übergänge als die des Crimpanschlusses und der Steckverbindung erreicht.Due to the measures disclosed in EP-A-0 573 126 shielded Cable plugs the complex process of connecting Shield housing and shield contact avoided, as that Shield housing in the form of one or more Shield contact tabs is only extended. The Shield contact transfer from the shield of the used Cable to another component through the cable connector by simple crimp connection and without further electrical Transitions possible. With the combination of shielded Cable connector and plug-in card is through this Measures a continuous shield from the shield of the cable used up to the plug-in card without additional parts and without further electrical transitions than that of the Crimp connection and the plug connection reached.

Aufgabe des vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, einen Kabelstecker zu schaffen, der mit dem vorsehen des Abschirmkontaktlaschen am aüßeren Bereich des Kontaktträgers gleichzeitig zu einer vereinfachten Montage des geschirmten Kabelsteckers führt.
