Abstract

A connecting piece for affixing to a cable. The connecting piece comprises a base and a screw connection arranged on the base. The screw connection includes a screw shaped portion, and includes a screw projecting from the base or a hollow with an interior thread.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A cable connection configured to connect to a cable including a strand conductor and an insulation at least partially surrounding the strand conductor, the cable connection comprising:
a cap affixed to the cable;
a connecting piece affixed to the cable, the connecting piece including:
a base;
a screw arranged on and projecting from the base, the screw including a screw-shaped portion, and
a flange arranged around the screw,

wherein:
the screw is arranged in the strand conductor,
the screw-shaped portion is anchored in at least one of the strand conductor or the cap, and
the flange is connected to the cap, and includes a latching flange latched to the cap.

2. The cable connection according to claim 1 , wherein:
the screw is a first screw,
the connecting piece further includes a screw connection having:
a second screw projecting from the base; or
a hollow with an interior thread,

the first screw is arranged on a first side of the base, and
the second screw is arranged on a second side of the base different from the side.

3. The cable connection according to claim 2 , wherein the first side and the second side are opposite to each other.

4. The cable connection according to claim 2 , wherein:
the screw-shaped portion is a first screw-shaped portion,
the second screw includes a second screw-shaped portion, and
a direction of rotation of the first screw-shaped portion is opposite to a direction of rotation of the second screw-shaped portion.

5. The cable connection according to claim 1 , wherein the screw-shaped portion is helically wound.

6. The cable connection according to claim 1 , further comprising:
an integrated conductor electrically coupled to the screw; and
an integrated connector electrically coupled to the integrated conductor.

7. The cable connection according to claim 6 , wherein the integrated connector includes one of an integrated plug connector or an integrated screw connector.

8. The cable connection according to claim 6 , further comprising:
an integrated electrically conductive shielding surrounding the integrated conductor.

9. The cable connection according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a first connecting portion for connecting to an electrical line, the first connecting portion including a hollow having:
an interior thread; and
a plug portion for receiving the screw; and

a second connecting portion for connecting to the electrical line.

10. The cable connection according to claim 9 , wherein the first and second connecting portions are electrically coupled to each other.

11. The cable connection according to claim 1 , further comprising:
an active or passive electrical or electronic component.

12. The cable connection according to claim 11 , wherein the electrical or electronic component includes one of a sensor, a motor, a transmitting element, a receiving element, a transceiving element, a control element, or a switching element.

13. The cable connection according to claim 1 , wherein the cap is affixed to at least one of the strand conductor or the insulation.

14. The cable connection according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a housing or an electrical conductor electrically coupled to the strand conductor,
wherein a housing part of the housing or the electrical conductor is enclosed between the base and the cable.

15. The cable connection according to claim 1 , wherein the flange is connected to the cap or the insulation in a material fit.

16. The cable connection according to claim 15 , wherein the material fit includes at least one of a welded joint or an adhesive joint.
