Coupling device, which can be used universally, for test cables and test boxes

摘要

A coupling device is provided for test cables (1) and/or test boxes having a plug connection (male or female) which can be coded with essentially one contact support (4), which is connected to the cable harness of the test cable (1), having a fixing part (5) which is constructed as a plate or housing and has coding elements (6), having an interchangeable front collar (7) with coding elements (8 and 9) and having a screw-union or fastening part (10), for example a union nut, which, adjacent to the junction of the insulating sheath (3) of the test cable (1) to the plug connection or adjacent to the plug connection arranged in the wall of the test box, has at least one connecting strand, but advantageously two connecting strands (13 and 14), and which are fastened by means of a binding (15) to the test cable (1) or to the housing wall of the test box and have coupling devices (22 and 23 respectively) on their free ends (18 and 19 respectively) which overhang the end of the insulating sheath (3) laterally in the axial direction, which coupling devices (22 and 23 respectively) can be latched in on the mating the plug connection (female or male) which is to be connected. <IMAGE>
