Abstract
Contact device for electrical cable with a cable shield comprising an arc-shaped contact part (3) that can be secured around the sheath of a cable and is provided with contact elements that protrude in a radially inward manner. Each contact element (5) extends to form a point (13) such that during installation in a direction of impact that is oriented inwards and in an essentially radial manner, said point penetrates the cable sheath (8) and produces an electrical contact with the cable shield (9).

A contact device for an electrical cable with a cable shield, comprising:
- an arc-shaped contact part that can be fastened around the sheath of the cable and is provided with contact elements that protrude in a radially inward manner, wherein
- each contact element includes a tip such that during installation of the contact device in a direction of impact that is oriented inwards and in an essentially radial manner, the tip penetrates the cable sheath and produces an electrical contact with the cable shield, wherein
- the contact part is formed as a cable clip, wherein
- a gear ring is formed from radially inward bent edges of the cable clip being, wherein
- teeth of the gear ring form the contact elements, wherein
- the gear ring has stops bent radially inward between the teeth, the stops centering the cable clip in the fastened state.
An electrical device, comprising a support unit for module frames which are connected to each other by shielded electrical cables having cable shields, wherein at least one cable shield is connected to the ground potential of the support unit by a contact device, wherein the contact device comprises:
- an arc-shaped contact part that can be fastened around the sheath of the cable and is provided with contact elements that protrude in a radially inward manner, wherein
- each contact element includes a tip such that during installation of the contact device in a direction of impact that is oriented inwards and in an essentially radial manner, the tip penetrates the cable sheath and produces an electrical contact with the cable shield, wherein
- the contact part is formed as a cable clip, wherein
- a gear ring is formed from radially inward bent edges of the cable clip being, wherein
- teeth of the gear ring form the contact elements, wherein
- the gear ring has stops bent radially inward between the teeth, the stops centering the cable clip in the fastened state.
