Abstract

A shielded plug-in connector is provided which includes a shield housing on which a cylindrical crimp sleeve is formed. A substantially cylindrical moulded part has partial cylindrical longitudinal grooves into which the exposed shield jackets of coaxial conductors can be inserted. The moulded part can be introduced, together with the coaxial conductors, into the crimp sleeve. The latter is compressed using a serrated crimping tool, whereby the moulded part is deformed in such a way that the longitudinal grooves contract and the shield jackets are tightly encompassed.

Claims (8)

1. A plug-in connector for connecting at least one coaxial conductor, wherein an exposed shield jacket of end sections of the coaxial conductor are connected with surrounding grounded crimp contacts of the plug-in connector, comprising:

a shielding housing;

a metallic crimp sleeve in a connector entry area which is rigidly connected to the shielding housing; and

a metallic molded part fitted in the crimp sleeve, such that a combination of the metallic molded part and the crimp sleeve forms the grounded crimp contacts;

wherein a cross section of the molded part features partly circular longitudinal grooves which respectively accept one of the exposed end sections of the coaxial conductor, and wherein the crimp sleeve may be compressed to an extent such that the longitudinal grooves of the molded part narrow.

2. A plug-in connector for connecting at least one coaxial conductor as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the molded part includes wing-shaped protrusions between an outside surface of the molded part and the longitudinal grooves which may be bent inwards by the crimp sleeve.

3. A plug-in connector for connecting at least one coaxial conductor as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the longitudinal grooves are substantially evenly distributed over a circumference of the molded part, and remaining divider parts of the molded part between the longitudinal grooves may be deformed by the crimp sleeve.

4. A plug-in connector for connecting at least one coaxial conductor as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the crimp sleeve is a one-piece element of the shield housing.
