Aufgabe der ErfindungObject of the invention

Der Erfindung stellt sich die Aufgabe, einen alternativen Kabelschuh der um einen abisolierten elekrischen Leiter eines Kabels angeordnet ist und ein Verfahren zur Befestigung des Kabelschuhs an dem elektrischen Leiter bereitzustellen, wobei der Aufnahmeabschnitt des Kabelschuhs anschließend umfänglich isoliert wird.The invention has the object of providing an alternative cable lug which is arranged around a stripped electrical conductor of a cable and to provide a method for fastening the cable lug to the electrical conductor, wherein the receiving portion of the cable lug is subsequently isolated circumferentially.

Allgemeine Beschreibung der ErfindungGeneral description of the invention

Bei der Vorbereitung der Erfindung hat sich gezeigt, dass herkömmliche Kabelschuhe den Nachteil haben, dass bei der Montage nach der Befestigung an einem abisolierten Leiter eines Kabels beim Aufschieben einer Isolierhülse auf den Aufnahmeabschnitt auch ein angrenzender Teil des Kontaktabschnitts überdeckt werden kann. Der Grund für ein Aufschieben der Isolierhülse bis über den Kontaktabschnitt wird darin gesehen, dass die Isolierhülse beim Aufschieben einen sehr viel größeren Innendurchmesser hat als der zu überdeckende Leiter außen aufweist. Die Isolierhülse nimmt den passenden Durchmesser, mit dem sie auf dem Leiter aufliegt, erst nach dem anschließenden Schrumpfen an, das bei Schrumpfhülsen durch Erwärmen und bei gedehnten Hülsen durch Entfernen der Dehnelemente erreicht wird. Ein teilweises Aufschieben einer Isolierhülse bis über den angrenzenden Teil des Kontaktabschnitts kann die anschließende Kontaktierung des Kontaktabschnitts behindern, was verhindert werden soll.In the preparation of the invention has been found that conventional cable lugs have the disadvantage that in the assembly after attachment to a stripped conductor of a Cable when pushing an insulating sleeve on the receiving portion and an adjacent part of the contact portion can be covered. The reason for pushing the insulating sleeve over the contact portion is seen in the fact that the insulating sleeve has a much larger inner diameter when pushed than the outside to be covered conductor. The insulating sleeve takes the appropriate diameter, with which it rests on the conductor, only after the subsequent shrinking, which is achieved in shrink sleeves by heating and in stretched sleeves by removing the expansion elements. A partial pushing an insulating sleeve over the adjacent part of the contact portion may hinder the subsequent contacting of the contact portion, which should be prevented.

Die Erfindung löst die Aufgabe mit den Merkmalen der Ansprüche und insbesondere mit einem Kabelschuh, der das Aufschieben einer Isolierhülse auf den Kontaktabschnitt vermeidet. Der erfindungsgemäße Kabelschuh ist vorzugsweise einstückig und weist auf oder besteht aus einem Aufnahmeabschnitt zur Anordnung an einem oder um einen elektrischen Leiter, einem mit dem Aufnahmeabschnitt verbundenen Kontaktabschnitt und einem Anschlagträger, der einen Anschlag bildet, der dem an den Kontaktabschnitt angrenzenden ersten Ende des Aufnahmeabschnitts zugewandt ist und sich über den Außenradius des Aufnahmeabschnitts erstreckt. Der Anschlag ist vorzugsweise etwa senkrecht zur Längsachse des Aufnahmeabschnitts angeordnet, z.B. kann der Anschlag eine Ebene bilden, die 70 bis 110°, vorzugsweise 85 bis 95°, insbesondere 88 bis 92° gegen die Längsachse des Aufnahmeabschnitts bzw. eines im Aufnahmeabschnitt angeordneten Leiters geneigt ist. Der Anschlag dient zur Begrenzung des Aufschiebens einer Isolierhülse auf den Aufnahmeabschnitt. Der Anschlagträger kann an dem Kontaktabschnitt oder an einem Verbindungsstück angeordnet sein, das das erste Ende des Aufnahmeabschnitts mit dem Kontaktabschnitt verbindet. Erfindungsgemäße Kabelschuhe weisen zusätzlich zu dem vollständigen Kontaktabschnitt einen Anschlagträger auf, der einen dem Aufnahmeabschnitt zugewandten Anschlag bildet, der sich in einem Abstand zum Kontaktabschnitt erstreckt. Dabei erstreckt sich der Anschlagträger über den Abstand zwischen Kontaktabschnitt und Anschlag, so dass die dem Kontaktabschnitt abgewandte Kante des Anschlagträgers den Anschlag bildet. Vorzugsweise ist der Anschlagträger einstückig mit dem Kontaktabschnitt ausgebildet und/oder einstückig mit dem Aufnahmeabschnitt. Besonders bevorzugt erstreckt sich der Anschlagträger in der Ebene, in der sich der Kontaktabschnitt erstreckt, um einen flachen Kabelschuh zu bilden. Der Anschlagträger und der von diesem gebildete Anschlag haben bevorzugt senkrecht zu der Ebene, in der sich beide erstrecken, die selbe Ausdehnung, oder der Anschlagträger hat maximal die Ausdehnung, die der Kontaktabschnitt einnimmt, so dass der Anschlagträger z.B. flach ist und sich in derselben Ebene wie der Kontaktabschnitt erstreckt und die gleiche oder eine geringere Ausdehnung bzw. Breite hat.The invention solves the problem with the features of the claims and in particular with a cable lug, which avoids the postponement of an insulating sleeve on the contact portion. The cable lug according to the invention is preferably in one piece and has or consists of a receiving section for arrangement on or around an electrical conductor, a contact section connected to the receiving section and a stop carrier which forms a stop which faces the first end of the receiving section adjoining the contact section is and extends over the outer radius of the receiving portion. The stop is preferably arranged approximately perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the receiving portion, for example, the stop form a plane which inclined 70 to 110 °, preferably 85 to 95 °, in particular 88 to 92 ° to the longitudinal axis of the receiving portion or arranged in the receiving portion conductor is. The stop serves to limit the sliding of an insulating sleeve on the receiving portion. The stopper carrier may be disposed on the contact portion or on a connecting piece connecting the first end of the receiving portion with the contact portion. Cable lugs according to the invention have, in addition to the complete contact section, a stop carrier which forms a stop facing the receiving section, which extends at a distance from the contact section. In this case, the stop carrier extends over the distance between the contact portion and stop, so that the contact portion facing away from the edge of the stop carrier forms the stop. Preferably, the stop carrier is integrally formed with the contact portion and / or integral with the receiving portion. Particularly preferably, the stop carrier extends in the plane in which the contact portion extends to form a flat cable lug. The stop carrier and the stop formed by this have preferably the same extent perpendicular to the plane in which they extend, or the stop carrier has a maximum extent, which occupies the contact portion, so that the stop member is flat and extends in the same plane as the contact portion and the same or has a smaller extension or width.

Besonders bevorzugt sind Kontaktabschnitt, der einstückig mit diesem ausgebildete Anschlagträger, ein optionales Verbindungsstück und der Aufnahmeabschnitt in einer gemeinsamen Ebene angeordnet und bestehen weiter bevorzugt aus einem einstückigen Metallblech.In a preferred embodiment, the cable lug comprises a contact section, a stop carrier, a receiving section arranged on the stop carrier by means of an optional connecting piece, wherein the stop carrier forms a stop extending on one or both sides of the receiving section, which extends approximately perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the receiving section, preferably the Width of the contact portion has, or a smaller width than the contact portion. Particularly preferred are contact portion, which integrally formed with this stop carrier, an optional connector and the receiving portion arranged in a common plane and more preferably consist of a one-piece metal sheet.

Ein Kabel mit erfindungsgemäßem Kabelschuh weist ein in dem Aufnahmeabschnitt befestigten Leiter auf und eine Isolierhülse, die um den Aufnahmeabschnitt angeordnet ist, den Kontaktabschnitt freilässt, insbesondere dadurch, dass die Isolierhülse mit einer Stirnfläche an den vom Anschlagträger gebildeten Anschlag stößt, der sich etwa senkrecht zur Längsachse des Leiters erstreckt.A cable with a cable lug according to the invention has a conductor fastened in the receiving section and an insulating sleeve which is arranged around the receiving section, exposing the contact section, in particular in that the insulating sleeve with an end face abuts against the stop formed by the stop carrier, which is approximately perpendicular to Longitudinal axis of the conductor extends.

Optional kann der Aufnahmeabschnitt an seinem ersten Ende direkt mit dem Anschlagträger verbunden sein oder durch ein Verbindungsstück, das zwischen dem Anschlagträger und dem Kontaktabschnitt angeordnet ist. Vorzugsweise sind Aufnahmeabschnitt, Anschlagträger, das optionale Verbindungsstück und der Kontaktabschnitt einstückig, und besonders bevorzugt sind Kontaktabschnitt und Anschlagträger in einer gemeinsamen Ebene oder in parallelen Ebenen angeordnet, wobei der Anschlagträger dieselbe Breite wie der Kontaktabschnitt hat oder eine geringere Breite als dieser. Der Anschlag erstreckt sich senkrecht zur Achse des Aufnahmeabschnitts über dessen Außenradius hinaus, vorzugsweise bis in einen Abstand über die Längsachse des Aufnahmeabschnitts, bis in welchen sich der Kontaktabschnitt über die Längsachse des Aufnahmeabschnitts erstreckt. Auf diese Weise begrenzt der Anschlag die Außenfläche des Aufnahmeabschnitts an dessen erstem Ende, so dass eine Isolierhülse, die vom gegenüberliegenden zweiten Ende des Aufnahmeabschnitts über diesen geschoben wird, bis maximal an den Anschlag verschieblich ist.Optionally, the receiving portion may be connected at its first end directly to the stop carrier or by a connecting piece which is arranged between the stop carrier and the contact portion. Preferably, receiving portion, stop carrier, the optional connector and the contact portion are integral, and more preferably contact portion and stop carrier are arranged in a common plane or in parallel planes, wherein the stop carrier has the same width as the contact portion or a smaller width than this. The stop extends perpendicular to the axis of the receiving portion beyond its outer radius, preferably to a distance over the longitudinal axis of the receiving portion, in which the contact portion via the longitudinal axis of the receiving portion extends. In this way, the stop limits the outer surface of the receiving portion at its first end, so that an insulating sleeve, which is pushed from the opposite second end of the receiving portion on this, is displaceable up to the maximum stop.

Der Anschlag kann sich einseitig oder beidseitig der Längsachse des Aufnahmeabschnitts in der Ebene erstrecken, in der sich der Kontaktabschnitt oder der Aufnahmeabschnitt erstreckt, vorzugsweise in der Ebene, in der sich der Kontaktabschnitt und der Aufnahmeabschnitt erstrecken. Wahlweise kann der Anschlag auf die Ebene und den Querschnitt beschränkt sein, über die sich der Kontaktabschnitt erstreckt. In dieser Ausführungsform kann der Anschlag aus einem Stück mit dem Kontaktabschnitt bestehen und maximal den Querschnitt des Kontaktabschnitts senkrecht zur Längsachse des Aufnahmeabschnitts haben, und sich optional bevorzugt bis in den gleichen Abstand zur Achse des Aufnahmeabschnitts erstrecken, in den sich der Kontaktabschnitt erstreckt.The stop may extend on one or both sides of the longitudinal axis of the receiving portion in the plane in which the contact portion or the receiving portion extends, preferably in the plane in which the contact portion and the receiving portion extend. Optionally, the stop may be limited to the plane and cross section over which the contact portion extends. In this embodiment, the abutment may consist of a single piece with the contact portion and have at most the cross section of the contact portion perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the receiving portion, and optionally preferably extend to the same distance from the axis of the receiving portion, in which the contact portion extends.

Vorzugsweise weist der Anschlag eine Anschlagfläche auf oder besteht aus einer Anschlagfläche, die etwa senkrecht zur Längsachse des Aufnahmeabschnitts bzw. eines darin befestigten Leiters steht. Die Anschlagfläche kann unterbrochen sein und ist vorzugsweise in einer gemeinsamen Ebene mit dem Kontaktabschnitt angeordnet.Preferably, the stop has a stop surface or consists of a stop surface which is approximately perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the receiving portion or a conductor fixed therein. The stop surface may be interrupted and is preferably arranged in a common plane with the contact portion.

Besonders bevorzugt erstreckt sich der Anschlag bis in einen Abstand zur Längsachse des Aufnahmeabschnitts, der dem einfachen bis doppelten Außenradius einer Isolierhülse entspricht, mit dem die Isolierhülse über den Aufnahmeabschnitt und gegen den Anschlag geschoben wird.Particularly preferably, the stop extends to a distance from the longitudinal axis of the receiving portion, which corresponds to the simple to double outer radius of an insulating sleeve, with which the insulating sleeve is pushed over the receiving portion and against the stop.

Alternativ kann sich der Anschlag über den anteiligen oder vollständigen Umfang des Kabelschuhs senkrecht zur Längsachse des Aufnahmeabschnitts erstrecken, beispielsweise eine anteilige Fläche, die symmetrisch oder asymmetrisch zur Längsachse des Aufnahmeabschnitts angeordnet ist und stiftförmig oder kreuzförmig ist, oder eine durchbrochene oder vollständige Fläche mit kreisförmigem Außenumfang um die Längsachse des Aufnahmeabschnitts bildet.Alternatively, the abutment may extend over the fractional or complete circumference of the cable lug perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the receiving portion, for example a proportionate surface which is symmetrical or asymmetrical to the longitudinal axis of the receiving portion and is pin-shaped or cross-shaped, or a perforated or complete surface with a circular outer periphery forms around the longitudinal axis of the receiving portion.

Der erfindungsgemäße Kabelschuh bietet den Vorteil, dass bei seiner Befestigung an einem abisolierten Leiter eines Kabels durch Anordnen des Aufnahmeabschnitts um den abisolierten Leiter eine anschließend um den Aufnahmeabschnitt aufgeschobene Isolierhülse bis maximal gegen den Anschlag verschieblich ist, der am ersten Ende des Aufnahmeabschnitts angeordnet ist und dessen Außenfläche überragt, so dass dadurch der Anschlag ein teilweises Überdecken des angrenzenden Kontaktabschnitts verhindert. Die Beabstandung des Anschlags vom Kontaktabschnitt durch den Anschlagträger, z.B. um 0,5 bis 5mm, vorzugsweise 1 bis 2mm, bildet insbesondere bei der manuellen Anordnung der Isolierhülse zusätzlich zum Anschlag ein strukturelles Element, dass verhindert, dass eine Isolierhülse bis über den Kontaktabschnitt geschoben wird bzw. sich erstreckt.The cable lug according to the invention has the advantage that when it is fastened to a stripped conductor of a cable by arranging the receiving section around the stripped cable Head is a subsequently slid around the receiving portion insulating sleeve to a maximum against the stop is displaceable, which is arranged at the first end of the receiving portion and projects beyond its outer surface, thereby preventing the stop a partial covering of the adjacent contact portion. The spacing of the stop from the contact section through the stop carrier, for example by 0.5 to 5 mm, preferably 1 to 2 mm, forms, in particular in the manual arrangement of the insulating sleeve in addition to the stop a structural element that prevents an insulating sleeve is pushed over the contact portion or extends.

Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren zur Befestigung eines Kabelschuhs erfolgt daher unter Verwendung des erfindungsgemäßen Kabelschuhs, wobei nach Anordnen und Befestigen eines Leiters an oder in dem Aufnahmeabschnitt des Kabelschuhs eine Isolierhülse über diesen Aufnahmeabschnitt bis an den Anschlag geschoben wird und anschließend formschlüssig und/oder kraftschlüssig um den Aufnahmeabschnitt fixiert wird. Die Isolierhülse kann ein dauerelastischer Schlauch sein, z.B. aus Neopren oder PVC, oder ein Schrumpfschlauch.The inventive method for fixing a cable lug therefore takes place using the cable lug according to the invention, wherein after arranging and fixing a conductor on or in the receiving portion of the lug an insulating sleeve is pushed over this receiving portion to the stop and then positively and / or non-positively around the receiving portion is fixed. The insulating sleeve may be a permanently elastic hose, e.g. made of neoprene or PVC, or a shrink tube.

In den Figuren bezeichnen gleiche Bezugsziffern funktionsgleiche Elemente.
Der in Figuren 1 bis 3 gezeigte herkömmliche Kabelschuh weist einen Aufnahmeabschnitt 2 auf, der um einen abisolierten Leiter 3 angeordnet ist und diesen formschlüssig und kraftschlüssig hält. Der Kabelschuh weist am ersten Ende 1 des Aufnahmeabschnitts 2 eine Öse als Kontaktabschnitt 5 auf Der in Figur 1 gezeigte, an einem Leiter 3 befestigte Kabelschuh ist in Figur 2 mit einer Isolierhülse 6 gezeigt, die im vorgedehnten Zustand anhand ihres Umfangs gezeigt ist, in dem sie einen großen Innendurchmesser aufweist, um über den Aufnahmeabschnitt 2 geschoben zu werden. Bei der Handhabung der Isolierhülse 6 im vorgedehnten Zustand kann diese durch Flachdrücken einen so großen Innendurchmesser aufweisen, dass sie ohne weiteres über den Kontaktabschnitt 5 geschoben wird.In the figures, like reference numerals designate functionally identical elements.
The in FIGS. 1 to 3 shown conventional cable lug has a receiving portion 2, which is arranged around a stripped conductor 3 and this holds positively and non-positively. The cable lug has at the first end 1 of the receiving portion 2 an eyelet as a contact portion 5 on the in FIG. 1 shown, attached to a conductor 3 lug is in FIG. 2 shown with an insulating sleeve 6, which is shown in the pre-stretched state by its circumference in which it has a large inner diameter to be pushed over the receiving portion 2. When handling the insulating sleeve 6 in the pre-stretched state, this can have such a large inner diameter by flattening that it is pushed easily over the contact portion 5.

Generell kann eine Isolierhülse 6 ein Schrumpfschlauch sein, der sich vor der Erwärmung im vorgedehnten Zustand befindet, oder die Isolierhülse 6 kann ein dauerelastischer Schlauch sein, der durch Dehnelemente in den vorgedehnten Zustand aufgespannt ist, z.B. durch in den Isolierschlauch eingeführte Elemente, die den Isolierschlauch 6 auf einen größeren . Innendurchmesser dehnen, als der Durchmesser des Aufnahmeabschnitts 2.Generally, an insulating sleeve 6 may be a shrink tube that is in the pre-stretched state prior to heating, or the insulating sleeve 6 may be a permanently elastic tube that is stretched to the pre-stretched state by expansion members, e.g. by inserted into the insulating tube elements, the insulating tube 6 to a larger. Inner diameter stretch than the diameter of the receiving portion. 2

Wie aus Figur 3 hervorgeht, in der der Kabelschuh nach dem Verringern des Innendurchmessers der Isolierhülse 6 dargestellt ist, erstreckt sich die Isolierhülse 6 über den Aufnahmeabschnitt 2 und überdeckt noch einen daran angrenzenden Teil des Kontaktabschnitts 5, was den Nachteil dieses Kabelschuhs deutlich macht. Denn der Anteil des Kontaktabschnitts 5, der von der Isolierhülse 6 überdeckt ist, verhindert eine vollflächige Kontaktierung des Kontaktabschnitts 5, beispielsweise durch zwei parallele flächige Gegenkontakte.How out FIG. 3 shows, in which the cable lug is shown after reducing the inner diameter of the insulating sleeve 6, the insulating sleeve 6 extends over the receiving portion 2 and still covers an adjoining part of the contact portion 5, which makes clear the disadvantage of this cable lug. Because the proportion of the contact portion 5, which is covered by the insulating sleeve 6, prevents a full-surface contact of the contact portion 5, for example, by two parallel planar mating contacts.

Figur 4 zeigt einen erfindungsgemäßen Kabelschuh mit einem Kontaktabschnitt 5, einem daran angrenzenden Anschlagträger 8, der einstückig mit dem Kontaktabschnitt 5 ausgebildet ist und einen Anschlag 7 bildet. Der Anschlag 7 hat dieselbe Breite, bzw. erstreckt sich bis in den selben radialen Abstand von der Längsachse des Aufnahmeabschnitts 2 wie der Kontaktabschnitt 5. Der Anschlag 7 steht etwa senkrecht zur Längsachse des Aufnahmeabschnitts 2, bzw. senkrecht zur Längsachse des in dem Aufnahmeabschnitt 2 befestigten Leiters 3. Entsprechend einer generell bevorzugten Ausführungsform weist der Kontaktträger 8 einen Außenumfang bzw. eine Breite senkrecht zur Längsachse des Aufnahmeabschnitts auf, die gleich der Breite des Anschlags 7 ist. In dieser Ausführungsform hat der Anschlagträger 8 den Querschnitt des Anschlags 7. Der Anschlagträger 8 beabstandet den Anschlag 7 von dem Kontaktabschnitt 5. Die Isolierhülse ist hier anhand ihres in der Aufsicht dargestellten Umfangs dargestellt. Hier wird deutlich, dass die Isolierhülse im vorgespannten Zustand den Umfang des Aufnahmeabschnitts 2 deutlich überragen kann und durch den Anschlag 7, der eine Diskontinuitätsstelle bildet, vom Kontaktabschnitt 5 getrennt wird, bzw. durch den Anschlag 7 von einer Überdeckung des Kontaktabschnitts 5 abgehalten wird. FIG. 4 shows a cable lug according to the invention with a contact portion 5, an adjoining stop support 8, which is integrally formed with the contact portion 5 and forms a stop 7. The stop 7 has the same width, or extends up to the same radial distance from the longitudinal axis of the receiving portion 2 as the contact portion 5. The stopper 7 is approximately perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the receiving portion 2, or perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the receiving portion in the second fixed conductor 3. According to a generally preferred embodiment, the contact carrier 8 has an outer circumference or a width perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the receiving portion, which is equal to the width of the stopper 7. In this embodiment The stop carrier 8 has the stop 7 spaced from the contact section 5. The insulating sleeve is shown here with reference to its circumference shown in the plan view. Here it is clear that the insulating sleeve in the prestressed state can project beyond the circumference of the receiving section 2 and is separated from the contact section 5 by the stop 7, which forms a discontinuity point, or is prevented from overlapping the contact section 5 by the stop 7.

Figur 5 zeigt den Kabelschuh mit einer Isolierhülse 6. Wie auch mit Bezug auf Figur 4 beschrieben, weist der Aufnahmeabschnitt 2 an seinem ersten Ende 1 einen Anschlagträger 8 auf, der den Anschlag 7 bildet, während der Leiter 3 vom gegenüberliegenden zweiten Ende 4 in den Aufnahmeabschnitt ragt. Der Aufnahmeabschnitt 2 ist von einer Isolierhülse 6 überdeckt, die mit ihrer Stirnfläche an den Anschlag 7 angrenzt. An dem Kontaktabschnitt 5 ist der Anschlagträger 8 befestigt, der mit dem ersten Ende 1 des Aufnahmeabschnitts 2 verbunden ist. Die Querschnittsfläche des Anschlagträgers 8 bildet den Anschlag 7, der den Aufnahmeabschnitt 2 überragt und sich entsprechend einer generell bevorzugten Ausführungsform bis in den radialen Abstand von Längsachse des Aufnahmeabschnitts 2 bzw. des Leiters 3 erstreckt, bis in den sich der Kontaktabschnitt 5 erstreckt. Der Anschlagträger 8 ist wie generell bevorzugt einstückig aus Metallblech mit dem Kontaktabschnitt 5 ausgebildet, wobei Kontaktabschnitt 5 und Anschlagträger 8 in einer gemeinsamen Ebene liegen, so dass die Anschlagsfläche 8 eine Querschnittsfläche des Kontaktabschnitts ist, die etwa senkrecht zu dieser gemeinsamen Ebene steht, und besonders bevorzugt etwa senkrecht zur Längsachse des Aufnahmeabschnitts 2 steht. Der Anschlag 7 erstreckt sich bis in den Abstand von der Längsachse des Aufnahmeabschnitts 2, in den sich der Kontaktabschnitt 5 erstreckt. Hier wird deutlich, dass die Isolierhülse 6 beim Aufschieben auf den Aufnahmeabschnitt 2 mit einer ihrer Stirnflächen gegen den Anschlag 7 stößt und daher den Kontaktabschnitt 5 nicht überdecken kann. FIG. 5 shows the cable lug with an insulating sleeve 6. As with respect to FIG. 4 described, the receiving portion 2 at its first end 1 a stop support 8 which forms the stopper 7, while the conductor 3 projects from the opposite second end 4 in the receiving portion. The receiving portion 2 is covered by an insulating sleeve 6, which adjoins the stop 7 with its end face. At the contact portion 5 of the stop carrier 8 is fixed, which is connected to the first end 1 of the receiving portion 2. The cross-sectional area of the stop carrier 8 forms the stop 7, which projects beyond the receiving section 2 and, according to a generally preferred embodiment, extends into the radial distance from the longitudinal axis of the receiving section 2 or the conductor 3, into which the contact section 5 extends. The stop carrier 8 is as generally preferably integrally formed of sheet metal with the contact portion 5, wherein contact portion 5 and stop support 8 lie in a common plane, so that the stop surface 8 is a cross-sectional area of the contact portion which is approximately perpendicular to this common plane, and especially preferably approximately perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the receiving portion 2 stands. The stopper 7 extends to the distance from the longitudinal axis of the receiving portion 2, in which the contact portion 5 extends. Here it is clear that the insulating sleeve 6 abuts when pushed onto the receiving portion 2 with one of its end faces against the stopper 7 and therefore can not cover the contact portion 5.

Figur 6 zeigt einen Kabelschuh mit daran angeschlossenem Kabel senkrecht zu der Ebene, in der sich der Kontaktabschnitt 5 erstreckt. In der hier gezeigten Ausführungsform liegen der Kontaktabschnitt 5, der Anschlagträger 8 und der um den Leiter 3 angeordnete Aufnahmeabschnitt 2 bzw. der Leiter 3 in einer gemeinsamen Ebene. Die Isolierhülse 6 stößt mit einer Stirnfläche gegen den Anschlag 7, der vom Querschnitt des Anschlagträgers 8 gebildet ist und sich senkrecht zur Längsachse des Aufnahmeabschnitts 2 bzw. des Leiters 3 erstreckt. FIG. 6 shows a cable lug with cable connected thereto perpendicular to the plane in which the contact portion 5 extends. In the embodiment shown here, the contact portion 5, the stop carrier 8 and arranged around the conductor 3 receiving portion 2 and the conductor 3 are in a common plane. The insulating sleeve 6 abuts with an end face against the stop 7, of the cross section of the stop carrier. 8 is formed and extends perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the receiving portion 2 and the conductor 3.
