Abstract
There is described a bus connector with at least two cable connections for bus lines, with the cable connections being provided in each case for electrical connection to a bus signal line and a bus screen line of a cable, with a screen connector of the cable connection being provided for electrical contacting of the bus screen connection of the cable to the elements screening the bus connector. The screen connector is embodied as a flat screening of the cable connections and contact elements are arranged in the area of the contacting of the bus screen lines which are intended for automatic contacting of the bus screen lines with the elements of the bus connector screening it when clamped on during installation of the housing.
Claims15
A bus connector with at least two cable connections for bus lines, wherein the cable connections provide an electromechanical connection with at least a bus signal line and a bus screen line of a cable, comprising:
- a screen connector to provide an electromechanical contact of the bus screen line of the cable with elements screening the bus connector, the screen connector being configured to provide electromagnetic screening to at least the bus signal line, wherein the screen connector has a flat screening of the cable connections, and wherein the screen connector has at least one contact element to contact the bus screen line automatically by clamping, such that the bus screen line is electromechanically connected to the elements screening the bus connector, when a housing of the bus connector is installed, wherein the screen connector includes a bowl-shaped recess for receiving the bus signal line, wherein said at least one contact element is disposed in the bowl-shaped recess, wherein the bowl-shaped recess is adjacent to a raised section of the screen connector, wherein the bowl-shaped recess contributes to the electromagnetic screening provided to the bus signal line received therein.
