Outer conductor element, plug connector arrangement and assembly method for a plug connector arrangement

A plug connector arrangement (1), comprising;

• an electrical cable (2) having an outer conductor;
• a support sleeve (11) that is fastened to the outer conductor (5) of the electrical cable (2) and the support sleeve (11) has a cable-side end face (12);
• and
• an outer conductor contact element (8) comprising at least one fixing stop (15) which, when the outer conductor contact element (8) is in an assembled state on the support sleeve (11), is able to engage behind the cable-side end face (12) of the support sleeve (11) and along a longitudinal axis (L) of the plug connector arrangement (1), the cable-side end face being remote from a front, free end of the outer conductor contact element (8);
• and the at least one fixing stop (15) is formed in the outer conductor contact element (8) by a male connector-side edge of a material cut-out (17) provided in the outer conductor contact element (8), and the said male connector-side edge is proximate to the front, free end of the outer conductor contact element (8);
• and
• the outer conductor contact element is assembled on the support sleeve (11).

An assembly method for a plug connector arrangement (1), comprising the steps:

• providing an electrical cable (2);
• providing a support sleeve (11) that has a cable-side end face (12);
• providing an outer conductor contact element (8) that has a longitudinal axis (L), a front, free end, and a fixing stop (15), and wherein the fixing stop (15) is formed in the outer conductor contact element (8) by a material cut-out (17) provided in the outer conductor contact element (8), and a male connector-side edge of the material cut-out (17) is reshaped in the direction of the longitudinal axis (L) of the plug connector arrangement (1), and the male connector-side edge is proximate to the front, free end of the outer conductor contact element (8);
• fastening the support sleeve (11) on the electrical cable (2);
• assembling the outer conductor contact element (8) on the support sleeve (11) that is fastened on the electrical cable (2) so that the fixing stop (15) engages behind the cable-side end face of the support sleeve (11) and is remote from the front, free end of the outer conductor contact element (8) and along the longitudinal axis (L).
