Abstract

A display instrument has a housing (1) with a base plate (3), on which a cable receptacle (5) is molded. In the region of the cable receptacle (5), contact pins (8) molded into the base plate (3) protrude with contact tips out of it. A clamping clip (17) is able to be swivelled over a flat cable (6) inserted into the cable receptacle (5), in such a way that the contact tips (21) penetrate into individual wires (7) of the flat cable (6) and thereby establish the contacting of the display instrument.
