  • the radially inner end of the shield contact 30 is formed longer than the radially outer end of the shield contact 30th
  • the Jardinkappenurging Type 33 and the Steckkopflois Chemistry 18 act upon insertion of the cable cap 20 in the plug head 10 together so that the shield contact 30 is pressed radially inward, so that the cable-side plug-in end 12 is inserted past the shield contact 30 in a plug-head receptacle 26.
  • the plug head receptacle 26 is formed as a substantially annular cavity of the cable cap 20.
  • the plug head receptacle 26 is designed and provided to receive the cable-side plug head end 12.
  • the shield contact 30 When unmounted, the shield contact 30 is at least partially inside the plug head receptacle 26 is arranged.
  • the shield contact 30 When mounting the cable cap 20 to the plug head 10, the shield contact 30 is at least partially pushed out of the plug head receptacle 26 in a radially inwardly shifted position. In this case, the shield contact 30 is displaced from the cable-side plug-in head end 12, which is inserted past the shield contact 30 into the plug-head receptacle 26. In this case, the shield contact 30 is moved.
  • the shield contact 30 performs during insertion of the cable-side plug head end 12 in the plug head receptacle 26 by a pivoting movement, in particular a pivoting movement relative to the cable cap 20th
  • the casing 25 has a jacket lip 27 at a radially outward position of the plug head receptacle 26.
  • the jacket lip 27 is formed as a radially outer boundary of the cable cap 20. Furthermore, the mantle fin 27 limits the plug head receptacle 26 and thus a spatial region into which the cable-side plug head end 12 can be bent radially outward in the mounted state.
  • the jacket lip 27 can thus exert a pressure from radially outside on the cable-side plug-in head end 12 in order to hold the cable-side plug-in head end 12 in its desired position in the interior of the plug-head receptacle 26.
  • the jacket lip 27 is particularly stiff and can be formed, for example, from an electrically insulating material.
  • the jacket lip 27 can fix the cable-side plug-in head end 12 in the plug-head receptacle 26 in such a way that the cable-side plug-in head 12 bears a holding pressure on the pivotable shield contact 30 from radially outside (in particular on a plug-in contact area 36 - cf. Fig. 7B ) to hold the shield contact 30 in its screen position.
  • the shield contact 30 provides a connection between the cable shield 42 and the plug-in head shield 13.
  • the electrical shielding of the cable 40 is coupled to the electrical shielding of the plug-in head 10 via the shield contact 30.
  • the cable cap 20 has two shield contacts 30 which are mounted on the holder 23 so that they are arranged opposite to each other with respect to the cable axis K.
  • FIGS. 7A and 7B show the shield contact 30 from two different perspectives.
  • FIG. 7A shows the shield contact 30 from a perspective view obliquely to the insertion direction S
  • FIG. 7B the shield contact 30 in a view against the insertion direction S shows.
  • the shield contact 30 is designed as a pivotable contact rocker.
  • the shield contact 30 has a first rocker vane 31 and a second rocker vane 32.
  • the first rocker vane 31 is assigned to the plug-in head 10 and serves for making electrical contact with the plug-in head shield 13.
  • the first rocker vane 31 has a plug-in head contact region 36 which is arranged as a thickening adjacent to a vane end of the first rocker vane 31.
  • the plug-in head contact region 36 is designed as a thickening of the first rocker blade 31 and serves both for the mechanical and electrical contacting of the cable-side plug-in head end 12.
  • the shield contact 30 further has a bent rocker axis 34.
  • the rocker axis 34 is formed as a transition between the first rocker vane 31 and the second rocker vane 32.
  • On the rocker axis 34 of the shield contact 30 is pivotally mounted about a not-shown rocker bearing of the bracket 23.
  • the holder 23 is formed so that the shield contact 30 is pivotable relative to the bracket 23 about its rocker axis 34.
  • the rocker bearing of the support 23 may have a convex curve, e.g. be formed substantially rod-shaped, wherein the rod axis, e.g. can be arranged approximately parallel to the cable axis K.
  • the bent rocker axis 34 may be arranged around the rounding of the holder 23 around and thereby allow a pivoting of the shield contact to the rocker bearing and thus relative to the holder 23 of the cable cap 20.
  • the second rocker vane 32 is assigned to the cable end 41 and serves to make electrical contact with the cable shield 42 FIG. 5B 2, the second rocker vane 32 is approximately as far from the cable axis K spaced as the cable shield 42.
  • the shield contact 30 has a cable contact surface 35.
  • This cable contact surface 35 is concave on its side facing the cable end 41. This is especially evident in the FIG. 7B shown view shown.
  • the concave surface of the cable contact surface 35 is formed substantially complementary to the convex surface of the cable shield 42.
  • the plug-in slide surface 18 can continue to cooperate with the plug-in head contact region 36 so that the first rocker blade 31 is pressed further radially inward.
  • the plug-in head contact region 36 in particular at an end facing the plug-in head 10, can have a further contact-region sliding surface 37, which is formed essentially complementary to the plug-in slide-in surface 18.
  • the shield contact 30 tilts about its bent rocker axis 34 (more precisely about the rocker bearing of the holder 23), so that the second rocker vane 32 is pressed onto the cable shielding 42.
  • the shield contact 30 is bent on its rocker axis 34 by about 180 ° ⁇ 10 °, so that the first rocker blade 31 is radially spaced from the second rocker blade 32 is disposed.
  • the second rocker vane 32 is arranged radially further inwards than the first rocker vane 31.
  • the second rocker vane 32 is closer to the cable 40, in particular closer to Cable end 41, arranged as the first rocker blade 31, which is arranged at a radially outer region of the circular connector 1.
  • FIG. 8 shows in a perspective view a mounting of the contact core 17 to the cable cap 20.
  • the contact core 17 has a plurality of contact pins 19. In the in FIG. 8 shown sectional view, only four contact pins 19 are shown. Overall, the contact core 17 may have as many contact pins 19 as the cable 40 has cores 43. For network cables, the cable 40 may have eight wires 43, for example. Because of this, the contact core 17 can also have eight contact pins 19.
  • the contact pins 19 are formed as electrically conductive contact pins, which are arranged electrically insulated from each other in the interior of the contact core 17.
  • Each contact pin 19 has a plug-side contact pin end 19S, which is arranged in the interior of the plug-in opening 14 when the round plug 1 is completely assembled and assembled (cf. FIG. 9 ). Inside the plug-in opening 14, the plug-side contact pin end 19S can be electrically and mechanically contacted by the complementary circular plug connector or by the complementary circular plug connector socket.
  • each of the contact pins 19 has a cable-side contact pin end 19K.
  • each of the contact pins 19 may have at least one cut surface which, when the contact core 17 is coupled to the cable cap 20, leads to stripping of the wires 43 of the cable 40 held in the contact holder 24. In this case, an electrical contacting of the individual wires 43 takes place automatically through the respective cable-side contact pin ends 19K.
  • the contact core 17 may be arranged in the interior of the plug head 10 so that it automatically performs the electrical contacting of the wires 43 when coupling the cable cap 20 to the plug head 10.
  • FIG. 9 shows the fully assembled and assembled circular connector 1 with a piece of the cable 40 coupled thereto
  • FIG. 9 shown is the Outer circumference of the plug head 10 adapted to the outer circumference of the cable cap 20, so that there is a continuous approximately equal round connector 1.
  • the circular connector 1 can be coupled in a known manner to a complementary circular connector or a complementary circular connector socket.
