Cable gland with variable screen contact element

摘要

The device has an end piece (2) for connection to a housing (7), a pressure element (3) for screwing onto the end piece and that acts on a sealing element (20) to apply the sealing element to a cable (23) fed through the connector and a shield contact element (9) in and connected to the end piece with at least one contact yoke (11) for contacting a shielding or earthing contact (24) of the cable. The forces for applying pressure to the at least one contact yoke act on the yoke in an action region at a distance from and between the first and second ends (12,13) of the yoke.
