Abstract

An arrangement for electrical lines is set forth which is mounted in a steering column switching module and/or in a steering wheel mounted on the module, equipped with its ends electrically conductively connected to one of the electrical components, which is fixedly mounted in the steering wheel switching module or in the steering wheel mounted thereon. At least two of the lines are connected with their other free ends to electrical contacts, which are arranged in at least one coupling body of insulation material in such a way that they are accessible on the plug-in side thereof. The coupling body is accessible from the outside connected with a plug-in side on or in the steering column switching module of the motor vehicle and, in the assembly position, an electrical line leading to the coupling body is connected through an electrical line leading to the onboard network.

Claims (7)

1. An arrangement comprising:

a steering wheel, with a rotary connector, wherein said rotary connector includes a stator, a rotor and a first electrical line positioned between said stator and said rotor, said rotary connector being mounted on the steering wheel,

at least two electrical components, at least one of which is mounted on the steering wheel,

said first electrical line of a first electrical component and a second electrical line connected to a second of said at least two electrical components are both connected with their free ends to electrical contacts which are arranged in at least one coupling body of insulation material in such a way that they are accessible for plugging an electrical plug-in element on a plug-in side of the coupling body,

the coupling body is mounted with the plug-in side accessible from the outside on the stator of the rotary connector,

on the coupling body, in the assembly position thereof, a single third electrical line leading to an onboard network of the vehicle is connected to said at least two electrical components through the plug-in element mounted to the third electrical line.

2. The arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the electrical conductors of the single lines are prefabricated with electrical contacts which are in the mounted state inserted in a prefabricated coupling body.
