  • the wire receiving and guiding part provided with the wire guide channels already mentioned. Know that Wire receiving and guiding part only one receiving or insertion opening on the cable side on, this receiving or insertion opening branches out then into the individual wire guide channels. However, is one on the cable side number of admission cores corresponding to the number of cores to be inserted or insertion openings realized, then go the individual Receiving or insertion openings in the wire guide channels.
  • the wire guide channels implemented in the wire receiving and guiding part are taking into account the geometry and arrangement of the Insulation displacement terminals of the clamping and connection unit designed and guided that the contacting with the insulation displacement terminals or from the insulation displacement terminals wire ends to be clamped and the assigned insulation displacement terminals run at the desired angle, for example at a acute angle or at a right angle.

  • the wire and guide part are axially fixed in the union nut and then the cable with the individual wires through the union nut and the receiving or insertion opening in the wire receiving and guiding part be introduced.
  • the individual wires are inserted in the wire guide channels of the wire receiving and guiding part complicates that the wire receiving and guiding part at least partially is covered by the union nut so that the receiving or insertion opening inside the union nut and therefore something is more difficult to access.
  • the multi-core cable can be used first be connected to the wire receiving and guiding part, d. H.
  • this is achieved by that the circlip via holding bars with the wire receptacle and guide part is connected. Is the circlip only over retaining bars and not over the entire circumference of the wire receiving and guiding part connected this results from the resilient property of Circlip and due to the fact that it is the circlip is a slotted locking ring, a certain mobility of the locking ring opposite the wire receiving and guiding part.
  • the locking ring can have an axial skew according to the Take up thread pitch while the wire take-up and guide part experiences no or only a significantly smaller inclination.
  • the invention relates to a cable connection or connection device for the electrically conductive connection of a cable, not shown to an electrical device, not shown, or what is also not shown is for the electrically conductive connection of two cables.
  • a cable connection device in front; two cables should be connected to each other, so it is a cable connection device.
  • the cable connection device shown there is a cable connection device arises, the person skilled in particular takes from the PCT published specification WO 97 / 06.580, in particular a comparison of that in FIG. 1 to 4 shown cable connection device with that shown in Fig. 5 Cable connecting device.
  • a cable connection component shown 1 a union nut 2 and a wire receiving and guiding part 3, while to the device connection component one with insulation displacement terminals and with Connection elements provided clamping and connection unit and a sleeve-shaped, with a corresponding to the internal thread 4 of the union nut 2 Male connector provided.
  • the wire receiving and guiding part belonging to the cable connection component 1 2 is on the cable side with a receiving or insertion opening 5 Mistake.
  • the wire receiving and guiding part 3 has in detail wire guide channels, not shown.
  • the receiving or insertion opening 5 merges into the wire guide channels.
