Abstract

In order to provide a simple connection between a shield housing and a strip body, the shield housing has resilient side parts with spring arms being initially bent inwards and then outwards and being pushed over lead-in and sliding inclines on the strip body and automatically latched on an insertion side or front of the strip body. Those sections of the spring arms which are bent outwards form contact elements for the shield housing to make contact on a mounting panel. The invention is suitable for motor vehicle filter plug connectors.
