## Abstract

The invention relates to a connection element for communications and data technology, comprising a housing and connection contacts, which are arranged in the housing, wherein the housing has electrically and/or magnetically conductive parts, wherein the surface of the housing is made completely of electrically and/or magnetically nonconductive material, and to a method for producing a connection element.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A connecting element for communication and data technology, comprising a housing and connecting contacts which are arranged in the housing, wherein the housing has electrically conductive and/or magnetically permeable parts, with the surface of the housing being composed entirely of electrically non-conductive and/or magnetically non-permeable material.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The connecting element as claimed in claim 1, wherein the housing is composed of a non-conductive plastic into which metal parts and/or ferrites are introduced.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The connecting element as claimed in claim 1, wherein the housing is formed from metal and/or ferrite material, on which a covering lacquer is applied.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The connecting element as claimed in claim 1, wherein the housing is composed of a plastic which in places has an electrically conductive coating and/or a ferrite coating, to which a covering lacquer is applied.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The connecting element as claimed in claim 4, wherein the housing is sprayed from two plastics.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The connecting element as claimed in claim 5, wherein the housing is composed of a polycarbonate and ABS.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The connecting element as claimed in claim 1, wherein the connecting element is in the form of a female connector or male connector.

### Claim 8

A connecting element for communication and data technology, comprising a housing and connecting contacts which are arranged in the housing, wherein the housing is electrically conductive and/or magnetically permeable at least in places on the surface, or has an electrically conductive and/or magnetically permeable coating at least in places, with both the inner surface and the outer surface of the housing being electrically conductive and/or magnetically permeable in places, or having an electrically conductive and/or magnetically permeable coating, with at least the electrically conductive and/or magnetically permeable areas on the outer surface of the housing being coated with an electrically non-conductive and/or magnetically non-permeable covering lacquer.

### Claim 9 (depends on 4)

A method for production of a connecting element as claimed in claim 4, wherein an electrically conductive coating is applied at least in places to the housing, and a covering lacquer is applied to this coating.
