SHIELD SLEEVE AND SHIELDING END ELEMENT COMPRISING A SHIELD SLEEVE

摘要

The invention relates to a shield sleeve (1) for producing an electrical connection between a cable shield and a metal housing portion (4 ) of a connection element. The invention further relates to a shielding end element (70) comprising such a shield sleeve (1) and a crimp sleeve (2) which is constructed so as to be able to be fitted over the shield sleeve (1). Shield sleeves (1) are known from the prior art. Shield sleeves having a cylindrical sleeve member (13) in which a circular ring is arranged at one end said ring extending perpendicularly relative to the cylinder axis and consequently perpendicularly relative to the direction of the cable are widespread. With such shield sleeves (1) the contact force and consequently the contact resistance are highly dependent on the connection and the force between the housing portions of the connection element. The contact resistance is further relatively high. An object of the present invention is to provide a shield sleeve (1) which ensures secure and consistent contact resistance which is substantially independent of the forces between the housing portions (4'4') of the connection element. The object is achieved according to the invention by a shield sleeve (1) which comprises a rotationally symmetrical sleeve member (13) at one end (D) of which there is arranged at least one radially protruding contact flap (11) which can be resiliently redirected in a radial direction (R) the contact flap (11) having at least one contact location (12) which protrudes in a radial direction with respect to the sleeve member (13). A shielding end element (70) according to the invention comprises a shield sleeve (1) according to the invention and a crimp sleeve (2) which is constructed so as to be able to be fitted over the shield sleeve (1).
