Abstract

A cable harness, more specifically a high-voltage cable harness for a motor vehicle, is provided. The cable harness has at least one electric cable, which includes an electric line and a shield that surrounds the line, as well as a device for leading-through and for connecting the shield of the cable. The device includes a lead-through element, through which a cable end is guided, as well as an under-sleeve. The under-sleeve includes a shaft and a head that is widened compared to the shaft. The under-sleeve with the shaft is inserted between the electric line and the shield as well as being retained by use of the head at the lead-through element.

Claims (42)

1. A cable harness, comprising:

at least one electric cable having an electric line, a shield surrounding said electric line, and a cable end; and

a device for leading-through said electric cable and for connecting said shield of said electric cable, said device having a lead-through element, through which said cable end is guided, and an under-sleeve, said under-sleeve having a shaft and a head being widened compared to said shaft, said under-sleeve with said shaft disposed between said electric line and said shield and further retained by means of said head at said lead-through element.

2. The cable harness according to claim 1 , wherein:

said lead-through element has a lead-through opening formed therein; and

said under-sleeve engages with said head in a form-fitting manner in said lead-through opening of said lead-through element.

3. The cable harness according to claim 1 , further comprising a clamping part externally mounted on said electric cable and clamps said shield against said shaft.

4. The cable harness according to claim 3 , wherein said clamping part is a crimp barrel.

5. The cable harness according to claim 3 , further comprising a sealing device disposed in said lead-through element for longitudinal waterproof sealing of said electric cable.

6. The cable harness according to claim 5 , wherein said sealing device has a seal that extends around said head of said under-sleeve.

7. The cable harness according to claim 6 , wherein:

said lead-through element has an end on a shaft side and said end with said shaft define a transition joint therebetween; and

said sealing device is disposed in said transition joint between said end of said lead-through element on said shaft side and said shaft, in a form of a sealing compound.

8. The cable harness according to claim 5 , wherein said sealing device is disposed between said lead-through element and said clamping part, in a form of a sealing compound.

9. The cable harness according to claim 5 , wherein said sealing device is sleeve-like and is pulled from externally over an end of said lead-through element on said shaft and over a cable region that adjoins said end.

10. The cable harness according to claim 1 , further comprising a securing element and said head of said under-sleeve is clamped between said securing element and said lead-through element.

11. The cable harness according to claim 10 , wherein said securing element is a securing plate.

12. The cable harness according to claim 10 , wherein said securing element includes at least one half-shell-like cable routing arm.

13. The cable harness according to claim 10 , wherein said under-sleeve has an anti-twist device configured at said head of said under-sleeve.

14. The cable harness according to claim 13 , wherein:

said securing element has a receiving opening formed therein; and

said anti-twist device is a pin which engages in said receiving opening of said securing element.

15. The cable harness according to claim 13 , wherein said lead-through element is a type of bushing for arrangement in an opening in a housing wall.

16. The cable harness according to claim 1 , wherein said lead-through element has a circumferential seal.

17. The cable harness according to claim 1 , wherein the cable harness is a high-voltage cable harness for a motor vehicle.

18. A device for leading-through an electric cable and for connecting a shield of the electric cable, the device comprising:

a lead-through element having a lead-through opening formed therein for the electric cable and an under-sleeve, said under-sleeve having a shaft and a head being widened compared to said shaft and retained at said lead-through element by means of said head, and said shaft is configured for insertion under the shield of the electric cable.

19. The device according to claim 18 , wherein said lead-through opening and said head are developed for a form-fitting receiving of said head.

20. The device according to claim 18 , further comprising a clamping part for clamping said shaft in an inserted state.

21. The device according to claim 20 , wherein said clamping part is a crimp barrel.

22. The device according to claim 20 , further comprising a sealing device disposed in said lead-through element for longitudinal waterproof sealing of the electric cable.

23. The device according to claim 22 , wherein said sealing device includes a seal that extends around said head of said under-sleeve.

24. The device according to claim 23 , wherein said sealing device is sleeve-like and is pulled from externally over an end of said lead-through element on said shaft and over a cable region that adjoins said end.

25. The device according to claim 22 , wherein said sealing device is disposed in a transition joint between an end of said lead-through element on a shaft side and said shaft, in a form of a sealing compound.

26. The device according to claim 22 , wherein said sealing device is disposed between said lead-through element and said clamping part, in a form of a sealing compound.

27. The device according to claim 18 , further comprising a securing element for securing said head on said lead-through element.

28. The device according to claim 27 , wherein said securing element is a securing plate.

29. The device according to claim 27 , wherein said securing element has at least one half-shell-like cable routing arm.

30. The device according to claim 29 , wherein said under-sleeve has an anti-twist device at said head of said under-sleeve.

31. The device according to claim 30 , wherein said anti-twist device is a pin and said securing element has a receiving opening formed therein for receiving said pin.

32. The device according to claim 18 , wherein said lead-through element is a type of bushing for arrangement in an opening of a housing wall.

33. The device according to claim 18 , wherein said lead-through element has a circumferential seal.
