Then an electrical connection between the shielding conductor 2b and the shielding conductor 6b via a shielding contact element, as will be shown below *.
- FIG. 3 shows a connection between the flat conductor rail 2 and the connection conductor 6.
- an exposed end 6 6, 6 ′′ of the core 6d of the connection conductor 6 is intermetallically connected to the core 2d of the flat conductor rail 2.
- This connection is in the contact area 4.
- the inner insulation 2c and the shielding conductor 2b surround the contact area in a U-shape. There is no shielding in the area of the connection point between the core 6d and the core 2d.
- a housing 8 As shown in FIG. 4, is proposed.
- the housing 8 can have a housing top side 8a and a housing bottom side 8b.
- the upper side of the housing 8a and the lower side of the housing 8b can be linked to one another in the form of a hinge, for example via a film hinge 10.
- Other hinge elements are also possible.
- 4 shows a view of an opened housing 8, in which the inner sides of the upper housing part 8a and the lower housing part 8b can be seen.
- the structure of the upper housing part 8a is described below.
- a corresponding structure can alternatively or cumulatively also be provided on the underside of the housing 8b.
- a flat conductor receptacle 12 can be provided in the longitudinal extension of the upper side 8a of the housing.
- the flat conductor receptacle 12 can be trough-shaped and encompass a flat conductor rail 2 at least along two, preferably along three sides.
- a connection conductor receptacle 14 can extend transversely to this longitudinal extension of the flat conductor receptacle 12.
- the connection conductor receptacle 14 can also be designed in the shape of a trough and accommodate a connection conductor 6 encompassing two, preferably three, sides.
- a shield contact element 16 can be provided in a central area of the upper side 8a of the housing, in particular in an area in which the longitudinal axes of the flat conductor receptacle 12 and the connection conductor receptacle 14 intersect.
- the shield contact element 16 can extend flat and rest on the inside of the housing top 8a.
- the shield contact element 16 can be formed from a metal.
- the shield contact element 16 can protrude out of the plane of the inner wall in an arched manner in the region of the longitudinal axis of the flat conductor receptacle 12.
- the shield contact element 16 can be shaped like a spring out of the character plane, for example arcuate.
- an insulation element 18 can be provided, which can be formed as a dielectric or can have a dielectric.
- the insulation element 18 can extend from the central region of the shielding element 16 in the direction of the connection conductor receptacle 14 into the connection conductor receptacle 14.
- the shield contact element 16 can also extend into the connection conductor receptacle 14, wherein it can be arranged, for example, preferably on the side walls, in particular on one or both side walls and / or the inside of the housing top 8a of the connection conductor receptacle 14.
- the shield contact element 16 can also protrude in an arc shape from the surface of the side wall on one or both side walls of the connection conductor receptacle 14, as indicated in FIG. 4.
- the insulation element 18 is in particular shaped in such a way that, in the joined state, it rests directly on the contact area 4, in particular the cores 2d, 6d. In particular, it is congruent to the contact area 4 or preferably overlaps the contact area 4 on all sides, so that a short circuit between the screen contact element 16 and the core 2d, 6d is excluded.
- FIG. 5 shows a section parallel to the flat conductor receptacle 12. Seals 20 can be provided on the side edges in the area of the flat conductor receptacle 12. Central the shield contact element 16 can be arranged, which is covered with the insulation element 18 in the area assigned to the contact area. It can also be seen that the shield contact element 16 protrudes out of the plane in an arc shape.
- connection conductor 6 a shows the housing 8 joined with a flat conductor rail 2 and a connection conductor 6. It can be seen that the flat conductor 2 is inserted into the flat conductor receptacle 12. Inside the housing 8, in particular encompassed by the seals 20, the flat conductor rail 2 is stripped and the shielding conductor 2b is exposed. As described in relation to FIG. 3, the connection conductor 6 is connected with its core 6d to the flat conductor rail 2, in particular its core 2d, in a materially bonded manner.
- the upper side of the housing 8a is then placed on the lower side of the housing 8b.
- the insulation element 18 lies on the area in which the flat conductor rail 2 and connection conductor 6 are stripped and their cores 2d, 6d are exposed.
- the shield contact element 16 lies in an area in which the shield conductor 2b is exposed and is mechanically and electrically contacted with it. Over the extension of the shield contact conductor 16 into the connection conductor receptacle 14, the shield contact element 16 can also come into contact with a shield conductor 6b of the connection conductor 6.
- Fig. 6b shows the housing 8 in the joined state.
- the upper side 8a of the housing and the lower side 8b of the housing are positively and positively locked together via latching elements 22, so that a pressing force can be exerted on the shield contact element 16 and this is applied with a pressing force on the shielding conductor 2b and / or the shielding conductor 6b.
- the housing 8 is shown in FIG. 7 in a side view into the connection conductor receptacle 14.
- the connection conductor 6 protrudes from the connection conductor receptacle 14 from the plane of the drawing.
- FIG. 8 shows the structure of the joined housing 8 in a view parallel to the longitudinal extension of the connection conductor receptacle 16. It can be seen that the core 2d is directly connected to the core 6d. At a distance from the exposed core 2d, the insulation element 18 can isolate the shield contact element 16 from the core 2d.
