Abstract

The invention relates to a cable connector ( 6 ). It has a shielding sleeve ( 2 ) having a first portion with a first opening and having a second portion with a second opening which is angled relative to the first portion. The first portion furthermore has a third opening which is opposite the first opening on the longitudinal axis of the first portion. The second portion has a slot-shaped opening which connects the second opening to the third opening. A cable ( 3 ) is guided through the first opening and through the second opening of the shielding sleeve ( 2 ). The cable connector ( 6 ) can be produced by a first end of the cable ( 3 ) being introduced through the third opening into the first portion of the shielding sleeve ( 2 ) and then being guided out of this portion again through the first opening. The cable ( 3 ) is finally bent such that a part of the cable ( 3 ) is moved through the slot-shaped opening into the second portion of the shielding sleeve ( 2 ) and a second end of the cable ( 3 ) projects out of the second opening of the shielding sleeve ( 2 ).

Claims (14)

1. A cable connector, having a shielding sleeve, having a first portion with a first opening and a second portion with a second opening, which is angled with respect to the first portion, wherein the first portion has a third opening which is opposite the first opening on the longitudinal axis of the first portion, wherein the second portion has a slot-shaped opening which connects the second opening to the third opening, and a cable which is guided through the first opening and through the second opening of the shielding sleeve, wherein the third opening is closed by a cover, and wherein the cover is releasably and electrically conductively connected to the first portion by means of several latch elements.

2. The cable connector according to claim 1 , wherein the first portion and the second portion are formed as one piece.

3. The cable connector according to claim 1 , wherein the first portion is angled at 90° relative to the second portion.

4. The cable connector according to claim 1 , wherein the cover has an extension which closes the slot-shaped opening at least partially.

5. The cable connector according to claim 1 , wherein the first opening and the third opening are circular and have substantially the same diameter.

6. The cable connector according to claim 5 , wherein the second opening is circular and has a smaller diameter than the first opening and the third opening.

7. The cable connector according to claim 6 , wherein at least a part of the second portion tapers conically towards the second opening.

8. A method for producing the cable connector according to claim 1 , the method comprising the following steps:

introducing a first end of the cable into the first portion of the shielding sleeve through the third opening,

guiding the first end of the cable out of the first portion of the shielding sleeve through the first opening,

bending the cable so that a part of the cable is moved through the slot-shaped opening into the second portion of the shielding sleeve and a second end of the cable protrudes out of the second opening of the shielding sleeve, and

after bending the cable, closing the third opening by a cover releasably and electrically connected to the first portion by means of several latch elements.

9. The method according to claim 8 , wherein wires of the cable are moved successively through the slot-shaped opening when the part of the cable is moved through the slot-shaped opening.

10. The method according to claim 8 , wherein a conical portion of a cable shield is guided over the conical region of the second portion of the shielding sleeve, after the part of the cable has been moved into the second portion.
