A connection for an electrical cable, for example to plugs or plug sockets, is proposed, which ensures that the electrical cable will not pull out even at high ambient temperatures of approximately 120@C. This ensures a high level of operational reliability. In the case of a connection of the type mentioned initially, this is achieved by a strain relief device being provided which acts directly on the screen and/or on at least one of the wires (9) in the cable. <IMAGE>
