Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Steckverbinder für einen ringgewellten Außenleiter aufweisende Koaxialkabel, mit einem Steckerkopf, der eine Ausnehmung mit einer Ringfläche hat, die den in Höhe einer Erweiterung des Kabelaußenleiters von einem Wellental in Richtung auf einen Wellenscheitel liegenden Stirnrandbereich des Kabelaußenleiters innenseitig kontaktiert, sowie mit einer den Kabelaußenleiter umschließenden, gegen den Steckerkopf verspannten Kontakthülse, die durch von ihrem steckseitigen Ende ausgehende, axiale Schlitze in radial federnde Segmente unterteilt ist, die an ihren freien Enden Verdickungen haben, die im montierten Zustand in dem ersten vollständigen Wellental des Kabelaußenleiters liegen und den über die Kontakthülse steckseitig überstehende Endbereich des Kabelaußenleiters gegen die Ringfläche in der Ausnehmung des Steckerkopfes klemmen.The invention relates to a connector for a ring-corrugated Coaxial cables having outer conductors, with a Plug head, which has a recess with an annular surface, which in the amount of an extension of the outer cable of a wave trough towards a wave crest Front edge area of the outer cable conductor contacted on the inside, as well as with a contact sleeve clamped against the plug head, the by axial from its plug end Slots are divided into radially resilient segments that join their free ends have thickenings, which in the assembled Condition in the first complete wave trough of the cable outer conductor lie and the plug on the contact sleeve protruding end area of the cable outer conductor against the Clamp the ring surface in the recess of the plug head.

Ein derartiger Steckverbinder ist aus der DE-C-27 24 862 bekannt. Die Kontakthülse ist gleichzeitig als Hohlschraube ausgebildet. Solche Steckverbinder werden üblicherweise werkseitig komplett vormontiert ausgeliefert, u.a. um sicherzustellen, daß die Einzelteile während der Lagerung und des Transportes nicht beschädigt werden. Zur Montage auf dem Ende des Koaxialkabels muß der Steckverbinder wieder zerlegt werden. Auf den über eine vorgegebene Länge von seinem Kabelmantel befreiten Außenleiter wird, falls erforderlich, als erstes ein O-Ring zur Abdichtung gegen das Eindringen von Wasser aufgezogen; dann wird die Kontakthülse über den Außenleiter geschoben, bis die Verdickungen an den freien Enden der Segmente der Kontakthülse in das erste vollständige Wellental des Kabelaußenleiters zu liegen kommen. Anschließend wird der Steckerkopf aufgesetzt und die mit der Kontakthülse einstückige Hohlschraube in ersteren eingedreht, bis der über die Kontakthülse steckseitig überstehende Endbereich des Kabelaußenleiters hinreichend fest zwischen der Ringfläche in der Ausnehmung des Steckerkopfes und den entsprechenden Gegenflächen der Verdickungen an den freien Enden der Kontakthülse geklemmt ist. Diese Klemmung gewährleistet sowohl die sichere Kontaktierung als auch die Abfangung des Kabels. (Die hier nicht interessierende Herstellung der Innenleiterverbindung wurde aus Vereinfachungsgründen nicht beschrieben). Die der Montage des Steckverbinders auf dem Kabel vorausgehende Zerlegung des ersteren ist aus verschiedenen Gründen nachteilig. Insbesondere können Teile herausfallen, verlorengehen oder vertauscht werden. Außerdem ist das Manipulieren mehrerer Teile zeitaufwendig und lästig, zumal an mitunter exponierten Montageorten. Im Ergebnis besteht auch ein gewisses Restrisiko, daß es zu Montagefehlern kommt. Ein weiterer Nachteil dieses Steckverbinders besteht darin, daß beim Eindrehen der Kontakthülse in den Steckerkopf die Verdickungen an den freien Enden der Segmente der Kontakthülse zwangsläufig auf dem zu kontaktierenden und zu klemmenden außenseitigen Flächenbereich des Kabelaußenleiters reiben, der häufig aus einer relativ weichen Kupferlegierung besteht, so daß es in Umfangsrichtung zu Materialquetschungen kommen kann, die entweder entsprechende Verbiegungen der Segmente der Kontakthülse zur Folge haben oder durch einen Anstieg des Anzugsdrehmomentes vortäuschen, daß bereits eine sichere Klemmung und damit Kontaktierung erreicht ist, was in Wahrheit noch nicht der Fall ist.Such a connector is from DE-C-27 24 862 known. The contact sleeve is also a banjo bolt educated. Such connectors are common delivered completely pre-assembled at the factory, including to ensure, that the items during storage and not be damaged during transport. For mounting on the The connector must be dismantled again at the end of the coaxial cable become. On the over a predetermined length of its cable jacket liberated outer conductor, if necessary, first an O-ring to seal against intrusion pulled up by water; then the contact sleeve over the Outer conductor pushed until the thickening on the free Ends of the segments of the contact sleeve in the first complete Wave trough of the cable outer conductor come to rest. Then the plug head is attached and the one with the Contact sleeve one-piece banjo screw screwed into the former, until the one protruding over the contact sleeve End area of the cable outer conductor is sufficiently firm between the ring surface in the recess of the plug head and the corresponding counter surfaces of the thickening on the free ends of the contact sleeve is clamped. This clamping ensures both reliable contacting and Interception of the cable. (The production not of interest here the inner conductor connection was made for reasons of simplification not described). The assembly of the connector previous disassembly of the former on the cable is disadvantageous for several reasons. Especially parts can fall out, get lost or be exchanged become. In addition, manipulating multiple parts is time consuming and annoying, especially at sometimes exposed assembly locations. As a result, there is also a certain residual risk that there are assembly errors. Another disadvantage of this Connector is that when screwing in the contact sleeve in the plug head the thickening on the free Ends of the segments of the contact sleeve inevitably on the outside surface area to be contacted and clamped rub the outer conductor, which often comes from a relatively soft copper alloy, so that it is circumferential material crushing can occur either corresponding bending of the segments of the contact sleeve result or by an increase in Pretend that the torque is already a safe one Clamping and thus contacting is achieved, which is in truth is not yet the case.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe Zugrunde, einen Steckverbinder der einleitend angegebenen Gattung zu schaffen, der sich einfach, schnell und zuverlässig auf das Kabel montieren läßt.The invention is based on the object, a connector to create the genus specified in the introduction, the can be easily, quickly and reliably mounted on the cable leaves.

Diese Aufgabe ist erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß die Ausnehmung einen Innendurchmesser mindestens gleich dem Außendurchmesser der Kontakthülse im Bereich der Verdickungen an den freien Enden der Segmente zuzüglich etwa dem Zweifachen der Wellungshöhe des Kabelaußenleiters hat, und daß eine die Kontakthülse umschließende Hohlschraube nach dem Zurücklegen eines Spannweges durch Eindrehen in die Ausnehmung des Steckerkopfes die Verdickungen der Kontakthülse formschlüssig umgibt und in Spannrichtung belastet.This object is achieved in that the Recess an inner diameter at least equal to that Outside diameter of the contact sleeve in the area of the thickening at the free ends of the segments plus about that Has twice the corrugation height of the outer cable conductor, and that a hollow screw enclosing the contact sleeve the covering of a tension path by turning into the Recess of the plug head the thickening of the contact sleeve positively surrounds and loaded in the tensioning direction.

Diese Konstruktion des Steckverbinders erübrigt dessen Zerlegen vor der Montage, denn der Steckverbinder kann nun so vormontiert ausgeliefert werden, daß er lediglich auf das wie üblich vorbereitete Kabelende bis zum Anschlag aufgeschoben werden muß. Sodann braucht der Monteur nur noch die Hohlschraube in den Steckerkopf einzudrehen, bis ein vorgeschriebenes Anzugsdrehmoment erreicht ist, das anzeigt, daß die gewünschte Klemmung des Außenleiters eingetreten ist. Das einzige gegebenenfalls getrennt zu handhabende Teil ist damit der wie bei dem Steckverbinder nach dem Stand der Technik als erstes auf den Kabelaußenleiter aufzuziehende O-Ring. Auch auf diesen kann jedoch verzichtet werden, wenn zur Abdichtung ein flüssiger, z.B. über eine Radialbohrung in der Hohlschraube eingespritzter Dichtungswerkstoff verwendet wird oder die Abdichtung zwischen dem Steckverbinder und dem Kabel mittels eines Schrumpfschlauches vorgenommen wird. Wenn während des Eindrehens der Hohlschraube der Stekkerkopf festgehalten wird, hat der vorgeschlagene Steckverbinder gegenüber demjenigen nach dem Stand der Technik den weiteren Vorteil, daß die kontaktierenden Flächen nicht gegeneinander verdreht werden, weil die Hohlschraube die Kontakthülse nur in axialer Richtung verschiebt. This construction of the connector makes this unnecessary Disassemble before assembly, because the connector can now are delivered pre-assembled so that it is only on the as usual prepared cable end pushed on as far as it will go must become. Then the fitter only needs that Screw the banjo bolt into the plug head until a prescribed Tightening torque is reached, which indicates that the desired clamping of the outer conductor has occurred is. The only part that may need to be handled separately is the same as for the connector according to the state of the The first technology to be installed on the outer cable is the O-ring. However, this can also be dispensed with if a liquid, e.g. via a radial bore sealing material injected into the banjo bolt will or the seal between the connector and the cable by means of a shrink tube becomes. If, during the screwing in of the banjo bolt, the connector head is held, the proposed connector compared to that according to the prior art further advantage that the contacting surfaces are not be rotated against each other because the banjo bolt Contact sleeve only moves in the axial direction.

Um sicherzustellen, daß die Kontakthülse bei der Montage des Steckverbinders auf dem Kabel ihre korrekte Stellung einnimmt, ist es zweckmäßig, wenn an den Verdickungen an den freien Enden der Segmente der Kontakthülse jeweils eine auf einer Kegelmantelfläche liegende Auflauffläche für den Stirnrand des Kabelaußenleiters ausgebildet und der Kegelwinkel so gewählt ist, daß die Segmente bei Überschreitung einer gewissen, von dem Stirnrand des Kabelaußenleiters auf die Auflaufflächen ausgeübten Axialkraft radial auffedern (Anspruch 2). Hierdurch wird erreicht, daß der Stirnrand des Kabelaußenleiters beim Aufschieben des Steckverbinders auf das Kabelende die Kontakthülse in eine definierte Stellung schiebt, in der sich die Verdickungen an den freien Enden der Segemente der Kontakthülse im wesentlichen in Höhe der Ringfläche in der Ausnehmung des Steckerkopfes befinden. Die definierte Stellung kann insbesondere durch einen den axialen Verschiebeweg der Kontakthülse begrenzenden Anschlag bestimmt sein. Z.B. kann die Kontakthülse an ihrem kabelseitigen Ende einen Umfangsbereich mit vergrößertem Außendurchmesser haben, der in der vormontierten Stellung mit einem steckseitig davon liegenden Innenbund in der Hohlschraube zusammenwirkt.To ensure that the contact sleeve when mounting the In the correct position on the cable, it is useful if the thickening of the free ends of the segments of the contact sleeve each one a conical surface for the Front edge of the cable outer conductor and the cone angle is selected so that the segments are exceeded a certain, from the front edge of the cable outer conductor radially spring up the thrust surfaces (Claim 2). This ensures that the front edge of the Outer cable when pushing on the connector the cable end the contact sleeve in a defined position pushes in the thickening at the free ends the segments of the contact sleeve essentially in the amount of Ring surface are in the recess of the plug head. The Defined position can in particular by the axial Travel of the contact sleeve limiting stop be determined. E.g. can the contact sleeve on its cable side End of a peripheral area with an enlarged outer diameter have in the pre-assembled position with a inner collar in the banjo bolt cooperates.

Besonders zweckmäßig ist es, wenn der Steckverbinder eine Einrichtung aufweist, die den Spannweg der Hohlschraube in zwei Abschnitte gliedert, von denen der erste einem vormontierten Zustand des Verbinders und der zweite dessen Endmontage auf dem Kabelende entspricht (Anspruch 3). Der Monteur kann dann den vormontierten Steckverbinder, falls aus irgendwelchen Gründen notwendig, vor der Montage auf dem Kabel zerlegen und anschließend wieder in den vormontierten Zustand bringen.It is particularly useful if the connector is a Has device that in the span of the banjo bolt divided into two sections, the first of which is pre-assembled Condition of the connector and the second of it Final assembly on the cable end corresponds (claim 3). Of the Fitter can then use the pre-assembled connector if necessary for any reason, before mounting on the Disassemble the cable and then back into the pre-assembled one Bring condition.

Diese den Vormontagezustand kennzeichnende Einrichtung kann aus einer Markierung der Stellung der Hohlschraube am Ende des ersten Abschnitts bestehen (Anspruch 4). This device, which characterizes the pre-assembly state, can from a marking of the position of the banjo bolt at the end of the first section (claim 4).

Die Einrichtung kann auch so ausgebildet sein, daß sich das zum Eindrehen der Hohlschraube in der Ausnehmung des Steckverbinderkopfs erforderliche Drehmoment am Ende des ersten Abschnittes fühlbar erhöht (Anspruch 5).The device can also be designed so that the for screwing in the banjo bolt in the recess of the connector head required torque at the end of the first Section noticeably increased (claim 5).

Insbesondere kann die Einrichtung aus einem zwischen dem Steckerkopf und der Hohlschraube am Ende des ersten Abschnitts angeordneten O-Ring oder dergl. bestehen (Anspruch 6).In particular, the device from one between the Connector head and banjo bolt at the end of the first section arranged O-ring or the like. (Claim 6).

Zusätzlich oder alternativ kann die Einrichtung aus einer am Ende des ersten Spannwegabschnittes befindlichen Materialverformung zwischen den relativ zueinander verschiebbaren Teilen bestehen (Anspruch 7).Additionally or alternatively, the device can be made from a Material deformation located at the end of the first span section between those that are slidable relative to each other Share exist (claim 7).

Zweckmäßig ist die Kontakthülse unverlierbar in der Hohlschraube gehalten (Anspruch 8). Hierzu können z.B. der größte Außendurchmesser der Kontakthülse in Höhe der Verdickungen an den freien Enden der Segmente und die Breite der Schlitze zwischen den Segmenten so aufeinander abgestimmt sein, daß sich die Verdickungen radial ausreichend weit zusammendrücken lassen, um die Kontakthülse in die Hohlschraube von deren kabelseitigen Ende her einführen zu können und die Verdickungen unter dem oben erwähnten Innenbund der Hohlschraube hindurchgleiten zu lassen.The contact sleeve is expediently captive in the banjo bolt kept (claim 8). For this, e.g. of the largest outer diameter of the contact sleeve in the amount of the thickening at the free ends of the segments and the width the slots between the segments matched to each other be that the thickenings are sufficient radially allow to squeeze far enough to insert the contact sleeve into the Insert the banjo bolt from its cable end can and the thickening under the inner waistband mentioned above to let the banjo bolt slide through.

Zur Übertragung des Axialschubes der Hohlschraube auf die Kontakthülse können die Verdickungen an den freien Enden der Segmente der Kontakthülse kabelseitig eine Ringschulter haben, die mit einem Innenbund der Hohlschraube zusammenwirkt (Anspruch 9).To transmit the axial thrust of the banjo bolt to the The thickening at the free ends of the contact sleeve Segments of the contact sleeve have an annular shoulder on the cable side, which cooperates with an inner collar of the banjo bolt (Claim 9).

Der Erfindung liegt des weiteren die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein einfaches und zuverlässiges Verfahren zur Montage eines Steckverbinders auf einem Koaxialkabel mit ringgewelltem Außenleiter zu schaffen. The invention is further based on the object simple and reliable method of assembling a Connector on a coaxial cable with a corrugated ring To create phase conductors.

Diese Aufgabe ist für einen gattungsgemäßen Steckverbinder erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß zunächst der Steckverbinder so vormontiert wird, daß eine Klemmfläche der Kontakthülse sich in einem vorgegebenen Abstand von der Klemmfläche in der Ausnehmung des Steckerkopfes befindet, daß nun dieser vormontierte Steckverbinder bis zum Anschlag auf das Kabelende geschoben wird, so daß der überstehende Endbereich des Kabelaußenleiters zwischen die Klemmflächen der Ausnehmung und der Kontakthülse zu liegen kommt, und daß dann die Kontakthülse und der Steckerkopf miteinander verspannt werden.This task is for a generic connector solved according to the invention in that first the connector is preassembled so that a clamping surface of the contact sleeve itself at a predetermined distance from the clamping surface is in the recess of the plug head that now this pre-assembled connector as far as it will go Cable end is pushed so that the protruding end area of the outer cable between the clamping surfaces of the recess and the contact sleeve comes to rest, and that then the contact sleeve and the plug head clamped together become.

Der in Figur 1 im Vormontagezustand, also so, wie er vom Hersteller ausgeliefert wird, dargestellte Steckverbinder umfaßt einen Steckerkopf 5 in dem ein Steckerinnenleiter 60 über eine Isolierstoffscheibe 70 gehalten ist. Der Steckerkopf 5 trägt einen nicht näher bezeichneten Schraubüberwurf. An seinem kabelseitigen Ende hat der Steckerkopf 5 eine Ausnehmung 51, die von einer Kegelringfläche 52 begrenzt wird. In der Ausnehmung 51 befindet sich eine Kontakthülse 6, die durch von ihrem steckseitigen Ende ausgehende, axiale Schlitze 61 in federnde Segmente 62 unterteilt ist, die an ihren freien Enden Verdickungen 63 haben. Die Kontakthülse 6 ist in dem dargestellten Vormontagezustand in einer Hohlschraube 7 frei verschiebbar, deren Außengewinde in ein Innengewinde in der Wand der Ausnehmung 51 des Steckerkopfs eingreift. Die Hohlschraube 7 trägt einen O-Ring 8, der bei in den Steckerkopf eingedrehter Hohlschraube die Abdichtung der Ausnehmung 51 sicherstellt. Außerdem kann zu dem Steckverbinder ein Dichtring 9 gehören.The in Figure 1 in the pre-assembled state, so as it from Manufacturer supplied, illustrated connectors comprises a plug head 5 in which a plug inner conductor 60 is held over an insulating disk 70. The plug head 5 carries a screw cap, not specified. At its cable end, the plug head 5 has one Recess 51, which is bounded by a conical ring surface 52 becomes. A contact sleeve is located in the recess 51 6, the axial from its mating end Slits 61 is divided into resilient segments 62 that are attached to their free ends have thickenings 63. The contact sleeve 6 is in the pre-assembled state in a banjo bolt 7 freely movable, the external thread in one Internal thread in the wall of the recess 51 of the plug head intervenes. The banjo bolt 7 carries an O-ring 8 which the sealing screw screwed into the plug head the recess 51 ensures. In addition to that Connectors include a sealing ring 9.

Gemäß den Figuren 2 und 3 sitzt der Steckverbinder auf dem passend hergerichteten Ende eines Koaxialkabels, hat aber noch nicht seine endgültige Stellung erreicht. Das Koaxialkabel umfaßt wie üblich einen Innenleiter 1, ein Kabeldielektrikum 2, einen ringgewellten Außenleiter 3 und einen Kabelmantel 4. Zuvor wurde der Dichtring 9 auf den Kabelaußenleiter 3 so weit aufgezogen, daß er in das erste freie Wellental im Anschluß an den Kabelmantel 4 zu liegen kommt. Der Dichtring 9 dichtet den Spalt zwischen dem Kabelaußenleiter 3 und der Innenfläche der Hohlschraube 7 ab. Das gleiche läßt sich auch auf andere Weise, z.B. durch nachträgliches Einspritzen eines elastischen Dichtungsmittels in den Ringspalt und/oder den Raum, den vorliegend der Dichtring 9 einnimmt, erreichen.According to Figures 2 and 3, the connector sits on the suitably prepared end of a coaxial cable, but has has not yet reached its final position. The coaxial cable comprises, as usual, an inner conductor 1, a cable dielectric 2, a ring-corrugated outer conductor 3 and one Cable sheath 4. Previously, the sealing ring 9 was on the cable outer conductor 3 raised so far that he entered the first free Wave trough comes to rest after the cable sheath 4. The sealing ring 9 seals the gap between the cable outer conductor 3 and the inner surface of the banjo bolt 7. The The same can also be done in other ways, e.g. through subsequent Inject an elastic sealant into the annular gap and / or the space, in the present case the sealing ring 9 takes, reach.

In der in den Fig. 1 und 2 dargestellten Stellung ist die Hohlschraube 7 nur etwa bis zur Hälfte der Länge ihres Außengewindes in den Steckerkopf 5 eingedreht. Diese Stellung der Hohlschraube 7 relativ zu dem Steckerkopf 5 ist durch eine Markierung in Form einer flachen Ringnut 71 definiert. In der Ringnut 71 könnte sich ein kleiner O-Ring befinden, so daß sich das zum weiteren Eindrehen der Hohlschraube 7 in den Steckerkopf 5 erforderliche Drehmoment etwas erhöhen würde. Die Markierung 71 gliedert also die Eindrehlänge der Hohlschraube 7 in zwei Abschnitte. Die Länge des zweiten Abschnittes ist mit L bezeichnet. Die Markierung kann statt aus der gezeichneten Ringnut auch aus einem Farbring, einer kleiner Materialverformung entweder am Steckerkopf oder an der Hohlschraube sowie aus jeder anderen Einrichtung bestehen, die an beliebiger Stelle zwischen dem Steckerkopf 5 und der Hohlschraube 7 dafür sorgt, daß der gezeichnete Vormontage- zustand des Steckverbinders hergestellt und eingehalten wird.In the position shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the hollow screw 7 is screwed into the plug head 5 only up to about half the length of its external thread. This position of the hollow screw 7 relative to the plug head 5 is defined by a marking in the form of a flat annular groove 71. A small O-ring could be located in the annular groove 71, so that the torque required to screw the hollow screw 7 further into the plug head 5 would increase somewhat. The marking 71 thus divides the screw-in length of the hollow screw 7 into two sections. The length of the second section is designated by L. The marking can also consist of a color ring, a small material deformation either on the plug head or on the banjo bolt, as well as any other device, instead of the drawn ring groove, which ensures that the pre-assembly shown at any point between the plug head 5 and the banjo bolt 7 condition of the connector is established and maintained.

Im Vormontagezustand ist die Kontakthülse 6 zunächst in der Hohlschraube 7 frei verschiebbar (vgl. Fig. 1), wird jedoch nach dem Aufsetzen des Steckverbinders auf das Kabelende (Fig. 2) zwangsläufig in die gezeichnete Stellung gebracht. Wie die Figuren 2 und 3 verdeutlichen, liegt nämlich der Stirnrand 31 des Kabelaußenleiters 3 in Höhe einer Erweiterung des letzteren von einem Wellental in Richtung auf einen Wellenscheitel und läuft zunächst gegen eine Auflauffläche 63a an der Innenseite der Verdickungen 63 an den Enden der Segmente 62 der Kontakthülse 6. Diese Auflauffläche 63a ist Teil einer umlaufenden Kegelfläche, die gleichzeitig das einspringende Profil der Verdickungen begrenzt, das in etwa an das Wellungsprofil des Kabelaußenleiters 3 angepaßt ist. Wenn sich also beim Aufsetzen des Steckverbinders auf das Kabelende die Kontakthülse 6 zunächst in irgendeiner anderen als der gezeichneten Stellung befindet, sorgt der Stirnrand 31 des Kabelaußenleiters in Verbindung mit der Auflauffläche 63a dafür, daß die Kontakthülse 6 mitgenommen wird, bis sie die gezeichnete Stellung erreicht hat. Fig. 3 zeigt weiter, daß jede der Verdickungen 63 innenseitig eine zu der Auflauffläche 63a gegenläufige Kegelfläche 63b hat, die im wesentlichen parallel zu der Ringfläche 52 des Steckerkopfes verläuft. Außenseitig ist jede Verdickung 63 von einer Zylindersegmentfläche 63c begrenzt, an die sich eine in einer Radialebene Ringschulter 63d anschließt. Die beiden letztgenannten Flächen sind zum Zusammenwirken mit dem sich an einen Innenbund 72 der Hohlschraube 7 anschließenden, rohrförmigen Vorderende 73 bestimmt, wie unten erläutert werden wird.In the pre-assembled state, the contact sleeve 6 is initially in the Banjo bolt 7 freely displaceable (see. Fig. 1), however after placing the connector on the cable end (Fig. 2) inevitably brought into the position shown. As can be seen in FIGS. 2 and 3, the Front edge 31 of the outer cable 3 at the level of an extension the latter from a trough towards one Wave apex and initially runs against a run-up surface 63a on the inside of the thickenings 63 at the ends of the Segments 62 of the contact sleeve 6. This contact surface is 63a Part of a circumferential conical surface, which at the same time re-entrant profile of the thickenings is limited, that roughly is adapted to the corrugation profile of the cable outer conductor 3. So if when fitting the connector on the Cable end of the contact sleeve 6 first in any other than the drawn position, the forehead edge provides 31 of the cable outer conductor in connection with the ramp surface 63a for the contact sleeve 6 being taken along until it has reached the position shown. 3 further shows that each of the thickenings 63 inside one to the ramp surface 63a has opposite conical surface 63b, which in substantially parallel to the annular surface 52 of the plug head runs. On the outside, each thickening 63 is one Cylinder segment surface 63c bounded by one in connects a radial plane annular shoulder 63d. The two the latter areas are designed to interact with yourself adjoining an inner collar 72 of the hollow screw 7, tubular front end 73 determines, as explained below will be.

Beim weiteren Aufschieben des Steckverbinders auf das Kabelende federn, wie in Fig. 4 gezeigt, die Segmente 62 in radialer Richtung auseinander, so daß der Steckverbinder nun bis zum Anschlag aufgedrückt werden kann. Hierzu hat die Ausnehmung 51 einen ausreichend groß bemessenen Innendurchmesser. Anschließend federn die Segmente 62 wieder zusammen, so daß nun die Verdickungen 63 an deren freien Enden in das erste vollständige Wellental des Kabelaußenleiter 3 eingreifen. Gleichzeitig liegt der an den Stirnrand 31 des Kabelaußenleiters 3 anschließende Bereich auf der Ringfläche 52 auf und wird von dieser innenseitig kontaktiert (vgl. Fig 5). Dann wird die Hohlschraube 7 in den festgehaltenen Stekkerkopf 5 eingedreht, bis sie sich in der in Fig. 5 gezeigten Stellung befindet. Währenddessen verhindert das rohrförmige Vorderende 73 der Hohlschraube 7 ein radiales Ausweichen der Segemente 62 der Kontakthülse 6, denn der Innendurchmesser des rohrförmigen Vorderendes 73 ist nur geringfügig größer als der Außendurchmesser der Kontakthülse in Höhe der Flächen 63c (vgl. Fig. 3) der Verdickungen 63. Sobald deshalb die einspringende Ringfläche des Innenbundes 72 der Hohlschraube 7 zur Anlage an die Ringschultern 63d der Verdickungen 63 kommt, wird die Kontakthülse 7 in axialer Richtung auf die Ringfläche 52 aufgeschoben. Das Eindrehen der Hohlschraube 7 wird dann fortgesetzt, bis ein vorgeschriebenes Anzugsdrehmoment erreicht ist, das eine sichere Kontaktierung und Klemmung des zwischen die Kegelringfläche 52 und die etwa gleichlaufende Fläche 63b eingespannten Bereichs des Kabelaußenleiters 3 anzeigt.When pushing the connector further onto the cable end 4, segments 62 in radial direction apart, so that the connector is now can be pushed on as far as it will go. For this, the Recess 51 has a sufficiently large inner diameter. Then the segments 62 spring back together, so that the thickenings 63 at their free ends in the engage the first complete wave trough of the cable outer conductor 3. At the same time lies on the front edge 31 of the Cable outer conductor 3 adjoining area on the ring surface 52 and is contacted by the inside (see FIG 5). Then the banjo bolt 7 is held in the connector head 5 screwed in until it is shown in FIG Position. Meanwhile, the tubular prevents Front end 73 of the hollow screw 7 a radial evasion the segments 62 of the contact sleeve 6, because the inner diameter the tubular front end 73 is only slight larger than the outer diameter of the contact sleeve in Height of the surfaces 63c (see FIG. 3) of the thickenings 63. Therefore, as soon as the re-entrant ring surface of the inner collar 72 of the hollow screw 7 to rest against the ring shoulders 63d the thickening 63 comes, the contact sleeve 7 in the axial Pushed onto the ring surface 52. The screwing in the banjo bolt 7 is then continued until a specified tightening torque is reached, the one secure contacting and clamping of the cone ring surface 52 and the approximately co-rotating surface 63b clamped Area of the outer cable 3 displays.
