Connector with a connected multi-core cable, a connector housing and contact elements

Abstract

A connector (1) with a connected multi-core cable (2), a connector housing (3) and contact elements (4). The multi-core cable (2) has at least two individual cores (21) surrounded by a cable sheath (22). A receiving space (31) is formed in the connector housing (3) at a longitudinal end. The individual cores (21) are introduced into the connector housing (3) through the receiving space (31) and then run through a cable guide portion (32). The contact elements (4) are abutted against a respective end of the individual cores (21) at the end of the cable guide portion (32) and are mounted in a contact chamber (33) of the connector housing (3) with a floating clearance. A sealing element (6) is arranged in the receiving space (31) and the sealing element (6) abuts against a stop (311) of the receiving space (31). The respective individual core (21) is guided in the cable guide portion (32) between the sealing element (6) and the contact element (4) with a lateral clearance and/or a bearing gap (321) to the inner wall of the cable guide portion (32) so that the bearing clearance of the corresponding contact element (4) is realized. A method of assembling a connector (1) with a multi-core cable (2).
