Shield connection

Abstract

A shield connection between a pc-board for electrical and/or electronic components located in a housing and at least one connector socket located in a wall of the housing with a metal cylindrical socket casing that passes through the housing wall includes a receiving device for a plug with a corresponding metal coupling component, which is electrically connected with the shield of a cable connected to the plug. To create a shielded connection, the shield potential is automatically distributed further by the connection to the housing The shield connection consists of a metal ring-shaped shield element, which includes contact pins for the electrical and mechanical connection with the pc-board. The contact pins each protrude from the ring plane on the one ring side, with the spring tongues protruding on the other side of the ring for electrical and mechanical contact with the socket casing.
