Abstract

A plug connector arrangement having a plug connector and a cable connected thereto, with at least one conductor pair for transmitting a differential signal, wherein the conductors of the conductor pair have a first mutual spacing (X) in a sheathed cable section, diverge in an expansion section in the direction of the plug connector, and have a larger second mutual spacing (Y) in a guide section of the plug connector, wherein a sleeve part at least partially surrounding the conductor pair in the expansion section is provided to exert pressure on the conductors of the conductor pair at least in sections, in order to reduce the spacing therebetween.

First claim

Thus, having described the invention, what is claimed is:

1. A plug connector arrangement comprising a plug connector and a cable connected thereto with at least one wire pair for transmission of a differential signal, wherein the wires of the wire pair are spaced apart at a first mutual distance (X) in a sheathed cable section, diverge, in an expansion section, in the direction of the plug connector, and in a guide section of the plug connector are spaced apart at a greater second mutual distance (Y), wherein a sleeve part, at least partially surrounding the wire pair in the expansion section, exerts pressure on the wires of the wire pair in the expansion section, in order to reduce the distance therebetween, wherein the sleeve part is radially deformed through the external application of pressure, in particular by being pressed or crimped, in order to further reduce the distance between the wires of the wire pair running through the sleeve part.

2. The plug connector arrangement of claim 1 , wherein the sleeve part is a sleeve completely surrounding the wire pair or a clamping part at least partially surrounding the wire pair.

3. The plug connector arrangement of claim 1 , wherein the sleeve part has an inner surface which is angled, conical or convex, relative to the longitudinal direction of the cable (L), wherein preferably an inner diameter of the sleeve part is matched at its cable-side end to the first distance (X) and is matched at its plug connector-side end to the second distance (Y).

4. The plug connector arrangement of claim 1 , wherein the sleeve part is arranged and formed such that, after emerging from the sheathed cable section, the wires continue to run spaced at substantially the first mutual distance (X) and then diverge in the expansion section with increased curvature in the direction of the guide section.

5. The plug connector arrangement of claim 1 , including a spacer projecting into the expansion section which is arranged between the wires of the wire pair and against which the wires are pressed by the sleeve part.

6. The plug connector arrangement of claim 1 , wherein the sleeve part and/or the spacer is formed of a non-conductive material.

7. The plug connector arrangement of claim 1 , wherein the cable has an outer conductor surrounding the wire pair and the plug connector has an outer conductor part, which is connected electrically with the outer conductor.

8. The plug connector arrangement of claim 7 , wherein the outer conductor is pressed or crimped together with the outer conductor part.

9. The plug connector arrangement of claim 7 , wherein the sleeve part, at least at its cable-side end, has approximately the same inner diameter as the outer conductor of the cable and continues a shielding of the wire pair in the direction of the plug connector.

10. The plug connector arrangement of claim 1 , wherein the plug connector includes an insulator part with guide channels for the wires of the wire pair which are spaced apart transversely to the longitudinal direction of the cable, wherein the guide channels form the guide section.

11. The plug connector arrangement of claim 1 , wherein the wires of the wire pair are in each case connected at their plug connector-side ends, with inner conductor contact elements of the plug connector.

12. The plug connector arrangement of claim 1 , wherein in the guide section of the plug connector the wires are in each case surrounded by a wire sleeve made of an electrically conductive material adjoining the expansion section in order to reduce the distance between the wires.

13. The plug connector arrangement of claim 12 , wherein the end of each wire sleeve facing the expansion section surrounds the wire insulation and/or the other end of each wire sleeve surrounds and makes electrical contact with a non-insulated wire conductor, wherein preferably both ends of the wire sleeves are in each case crimped onto the wire.

14. The plug connector arrangement of claim 2 , wherein the sleeve part is a clamping sleeve, a clip sleeve or C-sleeve.

15. The plug connector arrangement of claim 14 , wherein the sleeve part has an inner surface which is angled, conical or convex, relative to the longitudinal direction of the cable (L), wherein preferably an inner diameter of the sleeve part is matched at its cable-side end to the first distance (X) and is matched at its plug connector-side end to the second distance (Y).

16. The plug connector arrangement of claim 15 , including a spacer projecting into the expansion section which is arranged between the wires of the wire pair and against which the wires are pressed by the sleeve part.

17. The plug connector arrangement of claim 6 , wherein the sleeve part and/or the spacer is a plastics material.

18. The plug connector of claim 7 , wherein the outer conductor part is an outer conductor housing.

19. The plug connector arrangement of claim 8 , wherein the outer conductor is in the form of a conductor braid.

20. The plug connector arrangement of claim 8 , wherein the sleeve part, at least at its cable-side end, has approximately the same inner diameter as the outer conductor of the cable and continues a shielding of the wire pair in the direction of the plug connector.

21. The plug connector arrangement of claim 11 , wherein the wires of the wire pair are in each case crimped at their plug connector-side ends, with inner conductor contact elements of the plug connector.
