Abstract
The device allows simple ground contacting of the shielding of a coaxial line, in particular a parallel ground contacting. For this purpose the connection holder has a housing for receiving preferably multiple coaxial lines which are fed through the housing in a parallel manner. A ground contacting strip lies in the housing, and the shieldings of the coaxial lines, which are stripped in a contact region, are placed against the ground contacting strip and clamped thereagainst.
Claims18
A connection holder for electrically connecting a shielding of at least of one coaxial line to a carrier component located externally from the connection holder, the coaxial line having a shielding encased by an outer insulation, the holder comprising:
- a housing configured to receive the at least one coaxial line;
- a ground contact strip having an opening formed therein, said ground contact strip disposed in said housing;
- and
- a fastening element;
- the at least one coaxial line having a contacting region where the outer insulation has been stripped and the shielding is exposed for placement on, and clamping against, said ground contact strip;
- said ground contact strip being disposed in said housing to make direct contact with ground potential when the connection holder is fastened to a carrier component;
- said housing including a first shell with an opening formed therethrough and a second shell with an opening formed therethrough that is located opposite said opening in said first shell;
- and
- said fastening element extending at least through said opening in said first shell and said opening in said ground contact strip for electrically connecting said ground contact strip to the carrier component when the connection holder is fastened to the carrier component;
- wherein said fastening element is a screw bolt with a screw head lying directly on said ground contact strip, and said fastening element has a foot region forming an electrical contact with the carrier component via said opening in said second shell when the connection holder is fastened to the carrier component, and said ground contact strip includes a contact protrusion.
