Screen connector

A screen connector for clamping a screened cable with an uncovered part of the its screen against a busbar, the screen connector comprising:

• a U-shaped clamp clip having a first end and a second end, each of the first and second ends including at least two clamping legs spring-loaded against each other, each of the at least two clamping legs including an end portion having a coupling hook configured and arranged to engage the busbar from below and further including an outer and an inner guideway;
• an adjustable guide press piece including an outer guide surface and an inner guide surface, the outer and inner guide surfaces each being constructed and arranged to engage the outer and inner guideways of the at least two clamping legs;
• a tightening screw disposed through a back portion of the clamp clip and engageable with the guide press piece to move the guide press piece along the outer and inner guideways of the clamping legs;
• wherein positioning the guide press piece in an upper initial position so that the outer guide surface of the guide press piece is spaced from the outer guideway of the at least two clamping legs allows the clamping legs to be spring mounted relative to one another so that the clamping legs can be locked onto the busbar, and wherein positioning the guide press piece in a locked position so that the outer and inner guide surfaces of the guide press piece engage the outer and inner guideways of the at least two clamping legs causes the at least two clamping legs to be fixed relative to each other such that the clamping legs can be joined to the busbar by the coupling hooks in order to lock the screen connector to the busbar.
