  • cabling is increasingly being carried out on the front of a device instead of on the back.
  • more and more signal lines are required on the front that are operated at high bit rates.
  • An electromagnetically shielded design of cable plugs is therefore necessary, that is to say at least one shielding of the cable plug and the contacts contained in it, but often also a shielding of contacts or signal branches from one another.
  • ETS 300 119-3 there is only a very limited space available for front cabling. For example, for a device 600 x 600 "an installation space including device or module front plate of 75 mm approved for devices 600 x 300 ", the space provided for front wiring is only 40 mm including the front panel.
  • a cable connector of the type mentioned is from the EP 0 421 373 A1 is known.
  • This cable connector has a two-part conductive connector housing, the at least two Has contact housing with a variety of plug contacts.
  • the plug contacts are connected to the wires of a cable and as in contact elements of a mating connector insertable contact pins.
  • the connector housing is designed with two side tabs, that protrude perpendicular to the direction of insertion, against each other are offset and provided with a through hole.
  • the connector housing has on the side facing away from the plug side two opposite and inclined Sloping surfaces, between which there is a mating side parallel, flat rear end of the connector housing is located, at which the cable entry in the direction of insertion Cable connector takes place, that is, the cable is in the direction of insertion running centrally connected to the connector housing.
  • the cable connector is therefore in a straight version with relative high side walls and therefore less for Front cabling is suitable under tight installation conditions.
  • the invention is primarily based on the object multi-pin shielded cable connector in one for front wiring suitable under tight installation conditions to train.
  • This task is performed with a cable connector of the type mentioned Art solved according to the invention in that the two opposite sides of the housing essentially of the two inclined surfaces arranged like a roof are formed and a connecting piece from an inclined surface protrudes that the cable with one end at which the Cable shield is freed from the cable sheath, as far as in the connecting piece is introduced that a portion of the exposed Cable shield protrudes from the connector and that for mechanical and electrical connection of the cable end or the cable shield with the connector on the Inside made with electrically conductive adhesive Shrink tube piece provided and arranged in this way on the cable is that it has the end sections Connection piece or the cable jacket and with a medium Section includes the exposed cable shield.
  • the connector housing is expediently on two opposite one another Sides with lateral, perpendicular to the direction of insertion protruding and offset tabs trained with a through hole for a Screw to screw the cable connector to an im Area of the mating connector provided fastener are provided.
  • Such an arrangement of mounting tabs enables screw fastening of special closely adjacent cable connectors.
  • the connector housing on a on a pad e.g. B. on an assembly or device front panel adjacent side with one on the mating connector clip-on frame-like molding for the Plug contacts is formed. That is how they are Plug contacts of the cable plug in the area of the connection with reliably shielded the mating connector.
  • the cable connector 1 comprises a connector housing 2, which consists of two conductive or conductive parts, for example made of metal or metallized plastic.
  • the two parts of the connector housing 2 can be formed by half shells or - as in the embodiment in FIG.
  • the connector housing 2 contains a plurality of contact housings 5 (FIGS. 2, 3), which consist of insulating material and, for example, in the embodiment in FIGS. 2 and 3 are formed by individual lamella modules stacked one on top of the other in the connector housing.
  • the contact housings 5 have a large number of pre-fitted plug contacts 6, which are connected on the one hand in lamellae to the wires 7 of a cable 8 and on the other hand form contact elements, for example knife-shaped or pin-shaped or socket-shaped contact elements, which form complementary contact elements of a mating connector 9, for example a female connector, can be inserted.
  • the plug housing 2 essentially comprises two regions, namely a housing region 10 on the connection side for connecting the cable 8 and receiving the contact housing 5 and a housing region 11 on the plug side, likewise for receiving the contact housing 5 and the plug contacts 6 and for the plug connection with a mating connector.
  • connection-side housing area 10 consists of a body which is essentially formed by two roof-like inclined surfaces 12 and 13, which start from short, here parallel side surfaces 14 and 15, and two flat sides adapted to the body shape.
