Abstract

In order to realize a connector housing ( 10 ) that is tightly sealed relative to the environment, there is provided a device for an axially slidable connector-ended cable ( 5 ) because a contact holder ( 20 ) connected to the connector-ended cable can be displaced by a defined axial distance (C) within the connector housing, wherein a constant pressure is exerted upon the contact holder ( 35 ) of a corresponding female connector ( 3 ) by means of an integrated pressure spring ( 40 ).

Claims (26)

1. A device for an axially slidable connector-ended cable on a contact holder that is displaceably arranged within a connector housing, wherein

a sliding sleeve is provided on the connector housing and the connector-ended cable is fixed in said sliding sleeve, wherein

the sliding sleeve has integrally molded locking devices that extend into the connector housing, wherein

the contact holder is held between the locking devices, wherein

the contact holder is connected to the connector-ended cable, and wherein

the contact holder is guided in an axially displaceable fashion within a recess in the connector housing.

2. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the sliding sleeve is held in an opening at the end of the connector housing on the cable side by quick-release hooks arranged on the locking devices.

3. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the connector housing features a collar with a circumferential gasket, on which the sliding sleeve is arranged in an axially displaceable fashion.

4. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the connector housing and the gasket housing of the female connector can be engaged by snap-fits.

5. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the contact holder is pressed in the mating direction by a spring.

6. The device according to claim 1 , wherein guide grooves are provided within the opening of the connector housing on the cable side, wherein the sliding sleeve is non-rotatably held in said guide grooves by guide rails.

7. A device for an axially slidable connector-ended cable on a contact holder that is displaceably arranged within an enclosed connector housing, comprising

a sliding sleeve provided on the enclosed connector housing, the connector-ended cable being fixed in the sliding sleeve, wherein the sliding sleeve has a strain relief and a gland nut provided on a cable side of the sliding sleeve, and wherein the contact holder is connected to the connector-ended cable, and wherein the contact holder is guided in an axially displaceable fashion within a recess in the enclosed connector housing.

8. The device according to claim 7 , wherein the connector housing features a collar with a circumferential gasket, on which the sliding sleeve is arranged in an axially displaceable fashion.

9. The device according to claim 7 , wherein the contact holder is pressed in a mating direction by a spring.

10. A device for an axially slidable connector-ended cable on a contact holder that is displaceably arranged within a connector housing, wherein

a sliding sleeve is provided on the connector housing and the connector-ended cable is fixed in said sliding sleeve, wherein

the sliding sleeve features locking devices that point into the connector housing, wherein

the contact holder is held between the locking devices, wherein

the contact holder is connected to the connector-ended cable, wherein

the contact holder is guided in an axially displaceable fashion within a recess in the connector housing, and

wherein guide grooves are provided within the opening of the connector housing on the cable side, wherein the sliding sleeve is non-rotatably held in said guide grooves by guide rails.

11. The device according to claim 10 , wherein the sliding sleeve is held in an opening at the end of the connector housing on the cable side by quick-release hooks arranged on the locking devices.

12. The device according to claim 10 , wherein the connector housing features a collar with a circumferential gasket, on which the sliding sleeve is arranged in an axially displaceable fashion.

13. The device according to claim 10 , wherein the connector housing and the gasket housing of the female connector can be engaged by snap-fits.

14. The device according to claim 10 , wherein the contact holder is pressed in the mating direction by a spring.
