Accordingly, in the fixed state 25, the wall 15 is also not pressed against wall sections, cf. Fig. 15 .
- Fig. 16 shows a sectional view of the cable lug 4 of a third embodiment of the connection system 1 according to the invention.
- Fig. 17 shows a sectional view of the associated closure unit 13. Basically, what was said above regarding the first embodiment of the connection system 1 according to the invention applies, unless explicitly stated otherwise, which is why repetitions are omitted.
- the cap element 14 has in a cutting plane which Fig. 17 the plane of the drawing, has a cross-section with particularly pronounced, protruding arms 28, with the longitudinal axis 27 of the closure unit 13 lying in the plane of section.
- the arms 28 in Fig. 17 result from a section through a circumferential section of the cap element 14, which circumferential section has a brim-like shape in an axonometric view of the closure unit 13 or the cap element 14, cf. Fig. 19 .
- the arms 28 run at least in sections with a direction component parallel to the radial directions 16, wherein the cap element 14 is designed to press with the arms 28 at least in sections against an end face 31 of the wall 15 pointing away from the connecting section 5 in the fixed state 25 and thus elastically deform the wall 15.
- the desired seal is again achieved by the elastic deformation of the wall 15.
- the arms 28 in the fixed state 25 also run in the third embodiment in the first Arm section 29 with a directional component parallel to one of the radial directions 16 and in the second arm section 30 with a directional component antiparallel to the normal direction 9, wherein the second arm section 30 is arranged behind the first arm section 29 when viewed in the respective radial direction 16, cf. Fig. 17 .
- the first arm section 29 is crucial for the above-described function of pressing against the front side 31 of the wall 15.
- the extension of the arms 28 in the second arm section 30 is significantly smaller than in the second embodiment.
- the respective second arm section 30 serves primarily to guide the wall 15 and to ensure that the wall 15 in the area of the front side 31 does not slide outwards from the respective first arm section 29 parallel to the radial directions 16.
- the receptacle 8 has two front-side slats 33 which protrude from the front side 31 of the wall 15 with a direction component parallel to the normal direction 9 and are deformed by the cap element 14 in the fixed state 25, cf. Fig. 20
- the front slats 33 are circumferentially closed and are arranged concentrically.
- the arms 28, in particular the first arm sections 29, are dimensioned such that in the fixed state 25 all front-side slats 33 are contacted by the cap element 14.
- connection system 1 comprising the connection system 1 according to the invention and the device housing 19 with the device connection 3
- the device housing 19 shown in connection with the third embodiment has no protruding wall sections, cf. Fig. 12 , which shows the device housing 19, and Fig. 18 , which shows the connected state 24 with the cable lug 4 arranged on the device housing 19. Accordingly, in the fixed state 25, the wall 15 is also not pressed against wall sections, cf. Fig. 20 .
