ABSTRACT:

TECHNICAL FIELD
The invention relates to a shield connection system and a connector using the same. The system is used for connecting the shield, especially the shields of several individually shielded lines, by means of clamping of the shield between an outer cone and an inner cone. In general, the invention relates to a shield connection system, in which a good electrical connection is provided between a connector housing and a cable shield, also together with good electromagnetic shielding characteristics.
BACKGROUND ART
Numerous designs for shield connection systems are known, in particular in the form of a shield adapter. For instance, it is known, for individual lines or cables, to clamp the shielding of each individual line between respective individual conical components corresponding to each individual line, wherein the conical components are pressed together by a respective compression screw. This is disadvantageous in that two conical components are necessary for each line having a shield.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is an object of the present invention to provide a shield connection system and a connector using such system, in particular for cable sets, wherein each cable set consists of several individually shielded lines, such that a connection is provided having good electromagnetic shielding characteristics.
A further object of the invention is to provide good electromagnetic shielding of an existing space in a connector used with several individually shielded lines. In addition to this improved shielding of an existing space, which results in higher shielding values, a simplified shield connection system is to be achieved.
To achieve this object, the invention provides for a shield connection system, in which a (single) conical ring having an outer cone is provided. All of the shields of the individual lines are located over said conical ring in a spread out manner. The conical ring itself is pressed against an inner cone that is preferably formed on a part of a connector, preferably an adapter of a connector. The conical ring preferably comprises a plurality of openings, one for accepting each of the individual and individually shielded lines or cables.
Through the use, in accordance with the invention, of a preferably closed, conical ring with individual openings, through which the individual lines are inserted, favorable shielding and operating conditions result.
