an attachment section having an attachment element; and
a cable clamping section integrally connected to the attachment section, the cable clamping section has a tubular shape and forms a cable tunnel, the cable clamping section has a clamping tongue that is deflectable into the cable tunnel, the clamping tongue is positioned on an outer wall of the cable clamping section and is exposed to an exterior of the component in a direction perpendicular to an axial direction of the cable tunnel.
2. The component of claim 1 , wherein the clamping tongue has an inwardly directed clamping projection.
3. The component of claim 1 , wherein the clamping tongue has a guide groove on an outer side extending along a circumferential direction of the cable clamping section.
4. The component of claim 1 , wherein the clamping tongue is manipulated from the exterior.
5. The component of claim 1 , wherein a radial cross-section of the cable clamping section in a region of the clamping tongue is configured such that the clamping tongue deflects inwardly at most by a predefined value when a clamping element is attached.
6. The component of claim 5 , wherein the clamping tongue is deflected inwardly at most by the predefined value when it forms a circular outer circumference with a remainder of the cable clamping section.
7. The component of claim 1 , wherein the cable clamping section has a breakthrough that frames the clamping tongue.
8. The component of claim 1 , wherein the clamping tongue runs parallel to the axial direction.
9. The component of claim 1 , wherein a free end of the clamping tongue is oriented toward an end of the component.
10. The component of claim 1 , wherein the cable tunnel has a cylindrical cross-section.
11. The component of claim 1 , wherein the attachment element is a latching element.
12. The component of claim 1 , further comprising an inner stop surface extending perpendicular to the axial direction.
13. A housing assembly, comprising:
a component including an attachment section having an attachment element and a cable clamping section integrally connected to the attachment section, the cable clamping section has a tubular shape and forms a cable tunnel, the cable clamping section has a clamping tongue that is deflectable into the cable tunnel, the clamping tongue is positioned on an outer wall of the cable clamping section and is exposed to an exterior of the component in a direction perpendicular to an axial direction of the cable tunnel; and
a housing member having a chamber and a cable receptacle connected to the chamber, the cable receptacle is connected to the component.
14. A connection assembly, comprising:
a housing assembly including:
a component including an attachment section having an attachment element and a cable clamping section integrally connected to the attachment section, the cable clamping section has a tubular shape and forms a cable tunnel, the cable clamping section has a clamping tongue that is deflectable into the cable tunnel, the clamping tongue is positioned on an outer wall of the cable clamping section and is exposed to an exterior of the component in a direction perpendicular to an axial direction of the cable tunnel; and
a housing member having a chamber and a cable receptacle connected to the chamber, the cable receptacle is connected to the component; and
a cable, an end of the cable having a cable lug is arranged in the housing assembly.
15. The connection assembly of claim 14 , wherein the cable lug has an opening centered in the chamber.
16. The connection assembly of claim 14 , further comprising a clamping element clamping the cable and deflecting the clamping tongue.
17. The connection assembly of claim 16 , wherein the clamping element is separate from the component and extends circumferentially around the cable clamping section.
18. The connection assembly of claim 17 , wherein the clamping element is a cable tie that is affixed in a ratchet-like manner.
19. The component of claim 1 , wherein the cable clamping section is positioned adjacent to the attachment section and extends from the attachment section along the axial direction.
20. The component of claim 19 , wherein the cable clamping section is monolithically formed in a single piece with the attachment section.
