Thus, the direct connection of a coaxial cable to a device housing with little resources and thus achieved cost.

Eine besonders sichere elektrische Anbindung der Außenleiter-Signalleitung wird gemäß der Erfindung dadurch erzielt, wenn eine metallsiche Klemmhülse auf der Kabelaustrittsseite der Kabelanschlussbuchse zur Klemmung des Außenleiters angeordnet ist, die sich gegen den Sacklochgrund der Gewinde-Sacklochbohrung abstützt. Eine raumsparende Anordnung der Klemmhülse ergibt sich dadurch, dass die Kabelanschlussbuchse auf der Kabelaustrittseite eine den Außenleiter umschließende Sacklochbohrung aufweist, welche die Klemmhülse wenigstens teilweise aufnimmt.A particularly secure electrical connection of the outer conductor signal line is achieved according to the invention, when a metal-Siche clamping sleeve is arranged on the cable outlet side of the cable connection socket for clamping the outer conductor, which is supported against the blind hole bottom of the threaded blind hole. A space-saving arrangement of the clamping sleeve results from the fact that the cable connection socket on the cable outlet side has a blind hole enclosing the outer conductor, which at least partially receives the clamping sleeve.

Damit wird eine trennbare Anbindung des Kabels an das Gerätegehäuse geschaffen.In a particularly simple manner, the connection of the inner conductor to a device socket via the inner conductor pin, which is connected to the end of the inner conductor takes place according to further education.

Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand von Ausführungsbeispielen unter Bezugnahme auf die beigefügten Figuren ausführlich beschrieben. Es zeigt:

Figur 1
eine schematische Schnittdarstellung einer elektrischen Verbindungseinrichtung eines Koaxialkabels mit einem Gerätegehäuse als Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung.
The invention will now be described in detail by means of embodiments with reference to the accompanying figures. It shows:
FIG. 1
a schematic sectional view of an electrical connection device of a coaxial cable with a device housing as an embodiment of the invention.

Die Verbindungseinrichtung 20 nach Figur 1 zeigt einen Ausschnitt einer Gehäusewand 1a eines Gerätegehäuses 1, durch welche ein Koaxialkabel 3 geführt ist. Dieses Koaxialkabel 3 besteht aus einem Innenleiter 3a, einem Außenleitel 3c und einem den Innenleiter umgebenden Isolationsmantel 3c. Innerhalb des Gerätegehäuses 1 ist bspw. eine Leiterplatte 17 zur Aufnahme von elektrischen oder elektronischen Bauteilen angeordnet. Auf der Leiterplatte 17 befindet sich eine Gerätebuchse 16, die einen elektrischen Kontakt mit einem Innenleiterstift 8 herstellt, der mit dem Ende des Innenleiters 3a des Koaxialkabels 3 verbunden ist.The connecting device 20 after FIG. 1 shows a section of a housing wall 1a of a device housing 1, through which a coaxial cable 3 is guided. This coaxial cable 3 consists of an inner conductor 3a, an outer conductor 3c and a surrounding the inner conductor insulating jacket 3c. Within the device housing 1, for example, a circuit board 17 is arranged for receiving electrical or electronic components. On the circuit board 17 is a device socket 16 which makes electrical contact with an inner conductor pin 8, which is connected to the end of the inner conductor 3a of the coaxial cable 3.

Die Anbindung des Koaxialkabels 3 an das Gerätegehäuse 1 erfolgt mittels einer als Kabelanschlussbuchse 2 ausgeführten Leiteranschlusseinrichtung, die hohlzylindrisch mit einem Au-ßengewinde 4 zum Einschrauben in eine ein hierzu korrespondierendes Gegengewinde 6 aufweisende Gewinde-Sacklochbohrung ausgebildet ist.The connection of the coaxial cable 3 to the device housing 1 by means of a designed as a cable connection socket 2 conductor connection device which is hollow cylindrical with an external ßengewinde 4 for screwing into a corresponding thereto mating thread 6 having threaded blind hole.

Die Kabelanschlussbuchse 2 weist kabeleingangsseitig einen Anlageflansch 9 auf, der im eingeschraubten Zustand der Kabelanschlussbuchse 2 an der Außenfläche der Gehäusewand 1a anliegt. Der Durchmesser der Innenbohrung der Kabelanschlussbuchse 2 ist geringfügig größer als der Durchmesser des Außenleiters 3b des Kabels 3, entspricht jedoch im Bereich des Anlageflansches 9 im Wesentlichen dem Durchmesser des Außenleiters 3b.The cable connection socket 2 has a cable input side to a contact flange 9, which rests in the screwed state of the cable connection socket 2 on the outer surface of the housing wall 1a. The diameter of the inner bore of the cable connection socket 2 is slightly larger than the diameter of the outer conductor 3b of the cable 3, but corresponds in the region of the abutment flange 9 substantially the diameter of the outer conductor 3b.

Im an die Leiterplatte 17 angebundenen Zustand des Kabels 3 ist dieses durch eine Durchgangsbohrung 10 im Sacklochgrund der Gewinde-Sacklochbohrung 5 hindurchgeführt, wobei der Durchmesser dieser Durchgangsbohrung 10 dem Durchmesser des Isolationsmantels 3c entspricht. Ferner ist zwischen der Kabelanschlussbuchse 2 und dem Sacklochgrund der Gewinde-Sacklochbohrung 5 eine metallische Klemmhülse 11 auf dem Au-βenleiter 3b sitzend angeordnet, wobei diese teilweise von einer Sachlochbohrung 12 auf der kabelausgangsseitigen Stirnseite 14 der Kabelanschlussbuchse 2 aufgenommen wird. Diese Klemmhülse 11 ist stoffschlüssig, bspw. durch Löten mit dem Außenleiter 3b verbunden, so dass ein elektrischer Kontakt zwischen dem Außenleiter 3b und der aus Metall bestehenden Gehäusewand 1a hergestellt wird. Falls ein Hartmantelkabel verwendet wird, braucht diese Klemmhülse 11 nur aufgesteckt zu werden.In the connected to the circuit board 17 state of the cable 3, this is passed through a through hole 10 in the blind hole bottom of the threaded blind hole 5, wherein the diameter of this through hole 10 corresponds to the diameter of the insulation jacket 3c. Further, between the cable connection socket 2 and the blind hole bottom of the threaded blind hole 5, a metallic clamping sleeve 11 is seated on the outer β conductor 3b, which is partly received in a blind bore 12 on the cable output side end face 14 of the cable connection socket 2. This clamping sleeve 11 is cohesively, for example. Connected by soldering to the outer conductor 3b, so that an electrical contact between the outer conductor 3b and the existing metal housing wall 1a is made. If a hard sheath cable is used, this clamping sleeve 11 only needs to be plugged.

Die Kabelanschlussbuchse 2 weist kabelaustrittsseitig unter Ausbildung einer Ringfläche 13 einen konischen Übergang zur Stirnseite 14 auf, wobei diese Ringfläche 13 an einer dieser Ringfläche 13 korrespondierender Schulterfläche 15 einer umlaufenden Schulter der Gewinde-Sacklochbohrung 5 anliegt. Dadurch wird beim Einschrauben der Kabelanschlussbuchse 2 ein weicher Anschlag realisiert, da die beiden aneinander liegenden Flächen, die Ringfläche 13 und die Schulterfläche 15 geringfügig etwas aneinander entlanggleiten können, wodurch ein fester Sitz der Kabelanschlussbuchse 2 erzielt wird.The cable connection socket 2 has a conical transition to the end face 14 on the cable exit side, forming an annular surface 13, this annular surface 13 abutting against a shoulder surface 15 of a circumferential shoulder of the threaded blind hole 5, corresponding to this annular surface 13. As a result, a soft stop is realized when screwing in the cable connection socket 2, since the two contiguous surfaces, the annular surface 13 and the shoulder surface 15 can slightly slide along each other slightly, whereby a tight fit of the cable connection socket 2 is achieved.

Zur Herstellung dieser in Figur 1 gezeigten Verbindungseinrichtung 20 wird zunächst das Koaxialkabel 3 entsprechend der Darstellung nach Figur 1 zugeschnitten und die Kabelanschlussbuchse 2 auf den bspw. als Kabelgeflecht ausgebildeten Außenleiter 3b geschoben. Anschließend wird auch die Klemmbuchse 11 auf das Kabelgeflecht 3b geschoben und mit diesem verlötet. Wie oben bereits erwähnt, reicht ein Aufstecken der Klemmhülse 11 bei Verwendung eines Hartmantelkabels.For making this in FIG. 1 shown connecting device 20 is first the coaxial cable 3 according to the illustration FIG. 1 cut and pushed the cable connection socket 2 on the example. As a cable braid outer conductor 3b. Subsequently, the clamping bush 11 is pushed onto the cable mesh 3b and soldered to it. As already mentioned above, attaching the clamping sleeve 11 when using a hard sheath cable is sufficient.

Das derart bestückte Kabelende, dessen Innenleiter 3a in dem Innenleiterstift 8 endet, wird in die Gewinde-Sacklochbohrung 5 der Gehäusewand 1a eingeführt, wobei sich der Innenleiterstift 8 und die Gerätebuchse 1 finden, so dass sich durch das Einschrauben der Kabelanschlussbuchse 2 in die GewindeSackloch-bohrung 5 und anschließende Anziehen der Gewindeverbindung der Innenleiterstift 8 vollständig in die Gerätebuchse 16 gedrückt wird.The thus endowed cable end, the inner conductor 3a terminates in the inner conductor pin 8, is inserted into the threaded blind hole 5 of the housing wall 1a, wherein the inner conductor pin 8 and the device socket 1 find, so that by screwing the cable connection socket 2 in the Gewindesackloch- bore 5 and then tightening the threaded connection of the inner conductor pin 8 is completely pressed into the device socket 16.

Bei dieser bauraumsparenden und materialsparenden Art der Anbindung des Koaxialkabels 3 an das Gerätegehäuse 1 wird gleichzeitig ein guter elektrischer Kontakt zwischen dem Au-ßenleiter 3b und der Gehäusewand 1a hergestellt, da aufgrund der aneinander liegenden Ringflächen 13 und 15 ein gewisser Druck auf das Klemmelement 11 ausgeübt wird, der dieses an die Fläche des Sacklochgrundes der Gewinde-Sacklochbohrung 5 andrückt.In this space-saving and material-saving type of connection of the coaxial cable 3 to the device housing 1, a good electrical contact between the outer-conductor 3b and the housing wall 1a is produced at the same time because due the adjacent annular surfaces 13 and 15 a certain pressure is exerted on the clamping element 11, which presses it against the surface of the blind hole bottom of the threaded blind hole 5.
