Outer Conductor Contact Element

Electrical A electrical connector assembly (1) comprising:

• an electrical connector (3);
• and
• an electrical cable (2) connected to the electrical connector (3);
• and wherein
• the electrical connector (3) has an outer conductor contact element (11),
• which has
• a first crimping portion (13) for crimping an outer conductor (6) of the electrical cable (2), and wherein
• the first crimping portion (13) has two opposite crimping flanks (16) which together fully circumferentially crimp the outer conductor (6) of the electrical cable (2) in a final assembly state, and
• a finger-shaped extension (20) is formed on one side edge (17) of one crimping flank (16), and a corresponding finger-shaped recess (19) is formed on one side edge (17) of the other crimping flank (16), and wherein, in the final assembly state
• the finger-shaped extension (20) of the one side edge (17) of the one crimping flank (16) is engaged within the finger-shaped recess (19) defined in the one side edge (17) of the other crimping flank (6), and
• each of the finger-shaped extension (20) and the finger-shaped recess (19) have at least one longitudinal extension portion with a directional component in a longitudinal axial direction (L) of the outer conductor contact element (11), and
• each of the finger-shaped extension (20) and the finger-shaped recess (19) have at least one longitudinal extension portion with a directional component transverse to the longitudinal axial direction (L) of the outer conductor contact element (11);
• and
• the first crimping portion (13) is crimped fully circumferentially to the outer conductor (6) of the electrical cable (2).
