Electric connector with a cable clamping portion

摘要

An electric connector (1) comprises a connector body (2) and a plurality of contact elements (12) mounted within the connector body (2) and adapted to be coupled with mating contact elements (12) at the front end (2a) of the connector body. The contact elements (12) are connected to respective wires (11) of an electric cable (10) provided with a sheath (10a). The electric cable (10) is clamped within the connector body (2) by means of a cable clamping tubular portion (6), having clamping longitudinal tabs (6a1). A wedge-like locking bush (7) having a conical inner surface is mounted above the longitudinal tabs (6a1) of the clamping tubular portion (6). A locking ring-nut (9) is tightened on a threaded portion (2b3) of the rear end (2b) of the connector body (2) for urging axially the wedge-like bush (7) above the tabs (6a1) of the cable clamping portion (6), so as to clamp the cable (10) within these tabs (6a1). The electric connector further comprises a first sealing ring (8) for engagement on the cable and interposed between the wedge-like locking bush (7) and the locking ring-nut (9), and a second sealing ring (4) interposed between the locking ring-nut (9) and the connector body (2).
