  • the carrier element 10 extends in the circumferential direction into the tabs 6, 8 and is reinforced in this region for stabilization with reinforcing elements 5, 7 made of metal, which may be welded to the carrier element 10, for example.
  • reinforcing elements 5, 7 made of metal, which may be welded to the carrier element 10, for example.
  • In the tab 6 are threaded holes 9, 11 and in the tab 8 through holes 13, 15 are formed, which serve in further explained below manner for receiving screws not shown in Fig. 1, by means of which the tabs 6, 8 in the mounting position clamped together are.
  • the part 12 made of elastic material forms on the side facing in the mounting position of a coaxial cable to be contacted side sealing lips 14, 16 and in this embodiment in each case in the axial direction outside of the sealing lips 14, 16 more sealing lips 18, 20.
  • mounting position of the base body is located with the sealing lips fourteenth , 16 and the other sealing lips 18, 20 sealingly against a jacket of the coaxial cable to be contacted, so that a mounting position between the coaxial cable to be contacted and the base 4 formed space is sealed against ingress of air and / or moisture.
  • the device 2 further comprises a not shown in Fig. 1 contact element for producing an electrically conductive connection between the support member 10 and the coaxial cable to be contacted, in the mounting position on the coaxial cable to be contacted side of the base body 4, in the embodiment of FIG 1 so on a radial inner surface 22 of the base body 4, which forms a support surface is held, for example by means of adhesive.
  • the device 2 also has for adjusting the contact element in the manufacture of the device 2 adjustment aids for the contact element, which are formed in this embodiment by abutment edges 28, 30, 32, which are formed on stairs 34, 36, 38, to the sealing lips 14, 16 of the part 12 are formed of elastic material.
  • the means for producing an electrically conductive connection between the outer conductor of the coaxial cable and the carrier element 10 may also be formed by the carrier element 10 itself, which for this purpose may, for example, have at least one contact projection integrally formed with the carrier element 10, protruding in the radial direction inwardly so far beyond the sealing lips 14, 16, that it rests in the mounting position on the outer conductor of the coaxial cable.
  • the contact projection can be formed, for example, by a tongue or a profiling formed in the carrier element 10 be formed.
  • connecting means For connecting a cable, in particular a grounding cable, to the carrier element 10, connecting means are provided, which according to the invention have a connection element 37 designed in the manner of a cable lug, which in this embodiment is formed integrally with the reinforcing element 10 and thus electrically conductive with the reinforcing element 5 and thus is connected to the carrier element 10.
  • the reinforcing elements 5, 7 may, for example, be welded to the carrier element 10 in the region of the tabs 6, 8.
  • the connecting element 37 has a sleeve-shaped tubular free end 39 for receiving a free end of a cable, not shown in the drawing. After insertion of the cable in the tubular end 39, the tubular end 39 can be pressed, for example with the cable so that the cable is firmly and electrically connected to the reinforcing member 5 and connected in this way electrically conductive with the support member 10.
  • FIG. 2 shows a view of the radial inner surface 22 of the device 2.
  • Fig. 3 shows the device 2 with a contact element 40 held thereon, which consists in this embodiment of a strand or a braided metal strip and is rectangular in plan view.
  • the contact element 40 is connected by a point-shaped adhesive connection with a radial inner surface 22 of the base body 4 and held on this.
