Abstract

A shielding system for high-current applications, having a connecting cable that has an insulated conductor ( 22 ) and a cable shielding surrounding the insulated conductor, as well as a shielding housing having a feed-through. In addition, the shielding system has a hollow cylindrical and electrically conductive shielding sleeve. The insulated conductor is fed through the shielding sleeve. The shielding sleeve is situated in the area of the feed-through of the shielding housing, so that the shielding housing abuts a jacket surface of the shielding sleeve. The cable shielding lies against a jacket surface of the shielding sleeve. The cable shielding is electrically connected to the shielding housing via the shielding sleeve.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A shielding system for a high-current application, comprising:
a connecting cable having an insulated conductor and a cable shielding surrounding the insulated conductor;
a shielding housing having a feed-through; and
a hollow cylindrical electrically conductive shielding sleeve, the insulated conductor being guided through the shielding sleeve, the shielding sleeve having, at one longitudinal end, a housing-side sleeve area, and having, at another longitudinal end, a cable-side sleeve area;
wherein the housing-side sleeve area of the shielding sleeve is situated in an area of the feed-through of the shielding housing, and the shielding housing abutting a jacket surface of the housing-side sleeve area, the cable shielding lying against a jacket surface of the cable-side sleeve area, the cable shielding being electrically connected to the shielding housing via the shielding sleeve, and
wherein the shielding housing outwardly forms, in the area of the feed-through, contact clips that extend parallel to the jacket surface of the housing-side sleeve area, and are fastened so as to abut the jacket surface of the housing-side sleeve area.

2. The shielding system as recited in claim 1 , wherein a diameter of the insulated conductor is smaller than an inner diameter of the shielding sleeve, so that the insulated conductor is movable in a radial direction in an internal region of the shielding sleeve.

3. The shielding system as recited in claim 1 , wherein the cable shielding is radially movable, relative to the insulated conductor, outside the shielding housing and outside the shielding sleeve, in a region adjoining the shielding sleeve, so that the cable shielding in the region and the shielding sleeve are mechanically decoupled relative to one another.

4. The shielding system as recited in claim 3 , wherein the radial movability is achieved in that the cable shielding in the region can be changed in shape, and is widened in the radial direction in the region.

5. The shielding system as recited in claim 1 , wherein the shielding system has, in at least one of the housing-side sleeve area and in the cable-side sleeve area, a fastening strip running in a circumferential direction externally around the shielding sleeve, the fastening strip being fashioned to produce a press-on pressure on respective external surfaces of the contact clips, or a press-on pressure on the cable shielding in a direction of the jacket surfaces of the shielding sleeve, so that the contact clips or the cable shielding are fastened on the respective jacket surfaces of the shielding sleeve.

6. The shielding system as recited in claim 5 , wherein a circumference of the fastening strip is adjustable to modify a press-on pressure of at least one of the contact clips and the cable shielding on the jacket surfaces of the shielding sleeve.

7. The shielding system as recited in claim 5 , wherein the fastening strip has a metal.

8. The shielding system as recited in claim 5 , wherein the fastening strip includes a plastic and is fashioned to enclose the cable shielding with the jacket surface of the cable-side sleeve area in contour-conforming fashion.

9. The shielding system as recited in claim 8 , wherein the fastening strip is a shrink sleeve.

10. The shielding system as recited in claim 5 , wherein the shielding sleeve has, at each of the longitudinal ends of the sleeve areas, bulges that run around in the circumferential direction and are radially outwardly directed.

11. The shielding system as recited in claim 10 , wherein the contact clips run in stepped fashion in their extension from the shielding housing up to the jacket surface, so that a partial area of the contact clips in the area of the bulges is further away from a center axis of the shielding sleeve than is a partial area of the contact clips between the bulges of the housing-side sleeve area.

12. The shielding system as recited in claim 11 , wherein a width of the strip in the longitudinal direction of the shielding sleeve is smaller than a distance between the two bulges of the respective sleeve areas.

13. The shielding system as recited in claim 1 , wherein at least one of the housing-side sleeve area and the cable-side sleeve area have recesses or bulges on the jacket surfaces.

14. The shielding system as recited in claim 13 , wherein a profile of the jacket surfaces is fashioned with a wavy shape.

15. A plug connector for a motor vehicle, the plug connector including a shielding system for a high current application, the shielding system comprising:
a connecting cable having an insulated conductor and a cable shielding surrounding the insulated conductor;
a shielding housing having a feed-through; and
a hollow cylindrical electrically conductive shielding sleeve, the insulated conductor being guided through the shielding sleeve, the shielding sleeve having, at one longitudinal end, a housing-side sleeve area, and having, at another longitudinal end, a cable-side sleeve area;
wherein the housing-side sleeve area of the shielding sleeve is situated in an area of the feed-through of the shielding housing, and the shielding housing abutting a jacket surface of the housing-side sleeve area, the cable shielding lying against a jacket surface of the cable-side sleeve area, the cable shielding being electrically connected to the shielding housing via the shielding sleeve, and
wherein the shielding housing outwardly forms, in the area of the feed-through, contact clips that extend parallel to the jacket surface of the housing-side sleeve area, and are fastened so as to abut the jacket surface of the housing-side sleeve area.
