Abstract

A module for a high-current plug and/or a high-current cable includes a coupling face coupling to a shield and an influencing device influencing an electromagnetic property of the shield.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A module for a high-current plug and/or a high-current cable, comprising:
a coupling face coupling to a shield, the coupling face is a contact face electrically contacting the shield;
an injection-molded element having a first curve and a second curve opening in a same direction, the coupling face is disposed on at least one of the first curve and the second curve; and
an influencing device influencing an electromagnetic property of the shield, the influencing device is embedded in the injection-molded element between the first curve and the second curve.

2. The module of claim 1 , wherein the influencing device is a resistor, an inductor, and/or a capacitor.

3. The module of claim 1 , wherein the influencing device is a metal plate.

4. The module of claim 1 , wherein the influencing device influences a radiation property of the shield.

5. The module of claim 1 , wherein at least a part of the influencing device is exchangeable.

6. The module of claim 1 , wherein the influencing device is tunable.

7. The module of claim 1 , wherein the first curve or the second curve contacts the shield.

8. The module of claim 1 , wherein the influencing device extends from the first curve to the second curve.

9. The module of claim 1 , wherein the influencing device is entirely embedded in the injection-molded element.

10. The module of claim 1 , wherein the injection-molded element has a third curve opening in the same direction as the first curve and the second curve.

11. The module of claim 10 , wherein the first curve and the third curve lie on an outside of the injection-molded element and are approximately half as wide as the second curve, the second curve is disposed between the first curve and the third curve.

12. A high-current plug, comprising:
an upper shell;
a lower shell;
a plurality of sleeves arranged between the upper shell and the lower shell; and
a module arranged between the upper shell and the sleeves, the module including a coupling face coupling to a shield, the coupling face is a contact face electrically contacting the shield, an injection-molded element on which the coupling face is disposed, and an influencing device influencing an electromagnetic property of the shield, the influencing device is embedded in the injection-molded element.

13. The high-current plug of claim 12 , further comprising a high-current cable having an external insulation, an inner insulation, the shield arranged between the external insulation and the inner insulation, and an inner conductor arranged within the inner insulation.

14. A method for influencing an electromagnetic compatibility of a high-current cable, comprising:
fitting a module influencing a shield current of a shield to the high-current cable, the module has a coupling face coupling to the shield, the coupling face is a contact face electrically contacting the shield, an injection molded element on which the coupling face is disposed, and an influencing device influencing the shield current, the influencing device is embedded in the injection-molded element, the module is pressed onto the shield of the high-current cable.
