Abstract
A cable coupling device which includes a coupling body (22) that has a through passing passageway (21) for receiving an associated end of a cable (1). The body carries a cup-shaped electric contact whose edge forms a crimping ring that tightly surrounds a body part (23) of reduced diameter. A bared conductor element (11) is placed between the electric contact and the body part (23). The crimping ring compresses the body (22) so as to seal the wall of the passageway against the cable sheath. A scaling sleeve (50) can bridge two bodies (22) which are each connected to a cable (1) and are conductively coupled via respective electric contacts. The sleeve (50) therewith provides a sealed enclosure of the mutually coupled parts of the cables in a region delimited by the sleeve and the bodies (22).
Claims12
A cable coupling device comprising:
- a body having a through-passing, cable-receiving passageway therein for receiving a cable having a conductor therein;
- an electric contact having a passageway-part and a generally cup-shaped part fitted over an end section of said body such that said passageway opens into said generally cup-shaped part, said passageway-part also opening into said generally cup-shaped part for receiving the conductor of said cable;
- said passageway-part surrounded by a thick-wall part for crimping an inner wall of said passageway-part against said conductor for conductive connection therewith;
- and
- said body section being made of a resilient material at least in a crimping region thereof such that sealingly crimping said cup-shaped part of said electric contact around said body section causes a wall of said passageway to seal against an outer periphery of a cable inserted therein to prevent moisture from entering an interior of said cup-shaped part.
A cable coupling device comprising:
- a body having a through-passing, cable-receiving passageway therein;
- an electric contact having a passageway-part surrounded by a crimping portion, and a generally cup-shaped part fitted over an end section of said body such that said passageway opens into said generally cup-shaped part, said passageway-part also opening into said generally cup-shaped part for receiving a cable conductor;
- and
- said body section being made of a resilient material at least in a crimping region thereof such that sealingly crimping said cup-shaped part of said electric contact around said body section causes a wall of said passageway to seal against an outer periphery of a cable inserted therein to prevent moisture from entering an interior of said cup-shaped part;
- said crimping portion axially spaced from said cup-shaped part for conductive connection to a naked conductor extending from said cable through said cup-shaped part and into said passageway-part.
