Abstract
A cable plug enclosed by a shielding housing can be plugged onto a plug connector of a backplane printed circuit board. The shielding housing can make contact with shielding metal sheets arranged along the long sides of the plug connector. The shielding metal sheets are extended beyond the contact-making region and form guiding sections into which are cut, starting from the top edge, guiding slots for hook-like guiding lugs of the shielding housing (11). The shielding metal sheets, the guiding slots and the guiding lugs engage around one another alternately in such a way that the cable plug is held on the backplane printed circuit board in an approximately rigid manner.
Claims9
In a device for holding a shielded cable plug on a plug connector on a backplane wiring of a mounting rack, the device having shielding metal sheets along side walls of a plug housing of the plug connector with spring tongues, which can make contact with a shielding housing enclosing the cable plug, and the shielding metal sheets being extended beyond the contact-making region to form guiding sections which bear against the shielding housing of the cable plug, the improvement comprising guiding slots, which are open toward the outside and extend in the insertion direction, being cut into the guiding sections, the shielding housing of the cable plug having protruding guiding webs which engage with little play into the guiding slots, and the shielding housing being provided with hook-like projections which engage around the shielding metal sheets.
