Abstract
An anti-kink protection assembly is proposed that is configured for being situated on a connector housing that is mounted on a cable for anti-kink protection, comprising a cylindrical base part that is formed in one piece from a top part and a bottom part. The bottom part includes multiple locking arms that are separated from one another by a distance in the radial direction, and locking tabs are in each case situated on the lower end areas of the locking arms facing away from the top part, in the direction of the inner area of the cylindrical base part. The bottom part has a defined internal cross section in the area of the locking arms without the locking tabs. Tt least one upper end element is situated at the upper outer edge of the top part facing away from the locking arms. In addition, the anti-kink protection assembly includes a ring that is configured for being pushed over the bottom part of the base part onto the top part in a preassembly step, and for abutting against the at least one upper end element, and in a final assembly step, being pushed in the opposite direction with respect to the preassembly step, from the top part in the direction of the bottom part, until rea…
