Connector for shielded electric cables and corresponding assembly method
First Claim
1. A connector for a shielded electric cable, the shielded electric cable including at least one conductor and a shielding that at least partly covers the shielded electric cable, the connector comprising:
- a connector housing configured such that the conductor is arranged therein, and such that the shielding is partly arranged around said connector housing, said connector housing being electrically conductive; and
a holding ferrule configured for being arranged around the shielding so as to hold the shielding in mechanical connection by clamping and in direct electrical connection with said connector housing,wherein said connector housing has a positioning and abutment means of the shielding around the connector housing and said holding ferrule has separate front ends folded back against said positioning and abutment means, so as to form a connection area allowing a mechanical connection between said holding ferrule and said connector housing.

Abstract
The invention relates to a connector for a shielded electric cable (1), said shielded electric cable (3) comprising at least one conductor and a shielding (5) that at least partially covers said shielded electric cable (3), said connector (1) comprising a connector housing (7) containing the conductor, the invention being characterized in that said shielding (5) is partially arranged around said connector housing (7), said connector housing (7) being electroconductive, and said connector (1) comprising a holding ferule (11) arranged around the shielding (5) in such a way as to maintain the connection of the shielding (5) to the connector housing (7) both mechanically by means of clamping and also by direct electrical connection. The invention also relates to a method for the assembly of such a connector for a shielded electric cable.

8. A method for assembling a connector for a shielded electric cable, the shielded electric cable including at least one conductor and a shielding that at least partly covers the shielded electric cable, the connector including a connector housing having positioning and abutment means and a holding ferrule having a back end and separate front ends, the method comprising:
-
winding the electrical shielding around the connector housing; winding the holding ferrule around the shielding so as to clamp the back end of the holding ferrule around the shielding and thus to clamp the shielding around the connector housing so as to form a connection area, allowing an electrical and mechanical connection between the shielding and the connector housing; and crimping the front ends of the holding ferrule against the positioning and abutment means of the connector housing, so as to form a connection area allowing a mechanical connection between the holding ferrule and the connector housing. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10)

18. A connector for a shielded electric cable, the shielded electric cable including at least one conductor and a shielding that at least partly covers the shielded electric cable, the connector comprising:
-
a connector housing configured such that the conductor is arranged therein, and such that the shielding is partly arranged around said connector housing, said connector housing being electrically conductive; and a holding ferrule configured for being arranged around the shielding so as to hold the shielding in mechanical connection by clamping and in direct electrical connection with said connector housing, wherein said connector housing has a positioning and abutment means of the shielding around the connector housing and said holding ferrule has separate front ends folded back against said positioning and abutment means, so as to form a connection area allowing a mechanical connection between said holding ferrule and said connector housing, and wherein said holding ferrule extends at least from the back face of said connector housing to said positioning and abutment means that it covers, so as to form two mechanical stops between said holding ferrule and the connector housing.

19. A method for assembling a connector for a shielded electric cable, the shielded electric cable including at least one conductor and a shielding that at least partly covers the shielded electric cable, the connector including a connector housing having positioning and abutment means and openings, and a holding ferrule having a back end and separate front ends, the method comprising:
-
winding the electrical shielding around the connector housing; winding the holding ferrule around the shielding so as to clamp the back end of the holding ferrule around the shielding and thus to clamp the shielding around the connector housing so as to form a connection area, allowing an electrical and mechanical connection between the shielding and the connector housing; crimping the front ends of the holding ferrule against the positioning and abutment means of the connector housing, so as to form a connection area allowing a mechanical connection between the holding ferrule and the connector housing, drawing the holding ferrule in the direction of the connector housing; and drawing the holding ferrule deep into the openings of the connector housing so as to partly draw the shielding into the openings so as to form the connection area, allowing an electrical and mechanical connection between the shielding and the connector housing.
