Abstract

A plug, in particular a high-pole plug, of a plug-type connector is disclosed for a number of multi-core, shielded cables, of whose lines are electrically conductively connected to contacts of a contact strip cable shields are electrically conductively connected to a shield support. The contact strip and the shield support are arranged physically at a distance from one another in a shroud. The shield support is electrically connected to an ground connection of the plug. Two shielding brackets are provided as the shield support and connected to one another in a releasable manner. These shielding brackets are formed in such a way as to form a holding area for cable clamps which can be clamped between these shielding brackets. As a result, a plug of this type can accommodate a contact strip with a high pole number, without the need to modify the dimensions of the shroud of the plug.

Claims (13)

1. A plug of a plug connector for a plurality of multicore, shielded cables, said plug comprising:

a contact strip having contacts electrically conductively connected to lines of the multicore shielded cables;

a plurality of cable clamps subdividing the plurality of multicore, shielded cables into groups, wherein cable shields of each group are electrically connected to one another by a corresponding one of the cable clamps;

a shield support electrically conductively connected to cable shields of each group of the multicore shielded cables and electrically connected to a ground connection of the plug, said shield support being configured in the form of two shielding brackets which are detachably connected to one another and designed to form a holding area for the plurality of cable clamps which are clamped between the shielding brackets; and

a hood for accommodating the contact strip and the shield support in spaced-apart relationship.

2. The plug of claim 1 constructed as a multipole plug.

3. The plug of claim 1 , wherein each of the shielding brackets has a recess, each of the cable clamps being disposed in a corresponding recess of the shielding bracket, whereby the cable clamps and the recesses are placed into one-to-one correspondence.

4. The plug of claim 3 , wherein the recess of each shielding bracket is arranged in concave relationship to the contact strip.

5. The plug of claim 1 , further comprising two threaded bolts to secure the cable clamps between the shielding brackets.

6. The plug of claim 1 , wherein each cable clamp is made of electrically conductive material.

7. The plug of claim 1 , wherein the shroud has a recess to form a cable outlet.

8. The plug of claim 1 , wherein the contact strip is constructed as a female connector strip.

9. The plug of claim 1 , wherein the contact strip is constructed as a male connector strip.
