Abstract

The invention relates to a shield contact spring having a contact spring for the purpose of contacting a shield of a cable being connected, and having a fixing spring for the purpose of fixing the shield contact spring in a position in which the contact spring abuts the shield of the cable being connected, wherein the contact spring has a first end and a second end, and wherein the fixing spring has a first end and a second end, wherein the contact spring and the fixing spring are connected to each other by their first ends via a U-shaped connection region, wherein the shield contact spring has a support spring for the purpose of pressing out the contact spring from the insertion region of the cable being connected, upon the insertion of the shield contact spring into a housing.

Claims (10)

1. A shield contact spring comprising a contact spring for the purpose of contacting a shield of a cable, the same being connected, and a fixing spring for the purpose of fixing the shield contact spring in a position in which the contact spring abuts the shield of the cable being connected, wherein the contact spring has a first end and a second end, and wherein the fixing spring has a first end and a second end, wherein the contact spring and the fixing spring are connected to each other on their first ends via a U-shaped connection region, characterized in that the shield contact spring has a support spring for the purpose of pressing out the contact spring from an insertion region of the cable being connected, upon the insertion of the shield contact spring in a housing; wherein the shield contact spring is oriented perpendicularly to the cable.

2. The shield contact spring of claim 1 , wherein the support spring is arranged on the fixing spring.

3. The shield contact spring of claim 1 , further comprising wherein the support spring projects into a space between the contact spring and the fixing spring.

4. The shield contact spring of claim 1 , further comprising wherein the support spring has a first end and a second end, wherein the first end of the support spring is arranged closer to the second end of the fixing spring than the second end of the support spring, and the second end of the support spring is arranged closer to the first end of the fixing spring than the first end of the support spring.

5. The shield contact spring of claim 1 , wherein the support spring is arranged on the fixing spring ( 30 ) as a single piece, and is particularly stamped out of the same and subsequently bent into place.

6. The shield contact spring of claim 1 , wherein the shield contact spring is designed as a single piece, particularly as a stamp-bend element.

7. A plug connector comprising one or more shield contact spring according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more shield contact springs are diametrically opposite each other.

8. The plug connector of claim 7 , further comprising wherein the plug connector has a housing which has a bearing pin on which the shield contact spring is arranged by its connection region in a manner allowing pivoting, wherein the contact spring is arranged on the interior of the housing and the fixing spring is arranged on the outside of the housing.

9. The plug connector of claim 8 , wherein the support spring is supported on the outer wall of the housing.

10. The plug connector of claim 7 , wherein the plug connector is designed as a round plug connector, particularly as an M-type plug connector.
