Abstract
A jack plug has a plug housing formed by two shells and a cable bushing which can be screwed on a thread provided at the plug housing and penetrated by the cable to be connected. The outer contact shaft is formed integral with one shell of the plug housing, which shell is formed of metallic material. The outer contact shaft or its longitudinal axis is disposed at right angles to the dividing plane of the plug housing. A cylindrical neck which has the thread and is substantially closed circumferentially is provided at the end of one shell. A hook-like abutment is formed on at the end of the shell located opposite this neck. The other shell has a cut out portion at one end for receiving the abutment. At its other end side is arranged a pin-like projection which is received in a correspondingly constructed slot provided in the neck having the thread. The cable bushing screwed onto the thread engages in a positive locking manner over this slot and the projection received by the latter. The shells forming the plug housing are accordingly secured relative to one another.
