Solche Kontaktelemente sind vorgesehen, um insbesondere im Feld konfektionierbare Verbindungen mit Litzenleiterkabeln sowohl mechanisch fest als auch elektrisch zuverlässig mit dem Kontaktelement zu verbinden, wobei auch gewährleistet sein muss, dass hohe Zugkräfte, mechanische Einflüsse und Vibrationen keine ungewollte Trennung der Verbindung hervorrufen dürfen.Such contact elements are provided in order to connect connections with stranded conductor cables, which can be assembled in the field, both mechanically and reliably to the contact element, whereby it must also be ensured that high tensile forces, mechanical influences and vibrations do not cause any undesired separation of the connection.
So ist es im Stand der Technik zum Beispiel bekannt, dass Litzenleiter mit Crimpverbindungen an Kontaktelementen angebunden werden oder alternativ Litzenleiter mit Kontaktelementen verbindbar sind, bei denen ein kegelförmiges Kontaktteil in einem Kontaktelement die Litzenleiter mittels axial oder radial wirkender Kräfte auf eine entsprechende geformte Gegenfläche pressen, wobei die Winkel der Kegelflächen in der Regel gleich sind.For example, it is known in the prior art that stranded conductors are connected to contact elements with crimp connections or, alternatively, stranded conductors can be connected to contact elements in which a conical contact part in a contact element presses the stranded conductors onto a correspondingly shaped counter surface by means of axially or radially acting forces, where the angles of the conical surfaces are usually the same.

Diese technische Lehre offenbart ein Kontaktelement, bei dem das Litzenleiterende allerdings von der Klemmhülse gegen eine Seitenwand verpresst wird und die Gefahr besteht, dass die Enden der Litzenleiter beim Verpressen beschädigt werden oder gar durchtrennt werden.
