Abstract

For connecting the cable shielding in screened electric cables in the case of a round plug connection, it is proposed that, for the purpose of making contact with the cable shield, a contact element is provided which is disposed between an insulating pressing/clamping part and an insulating body, an aperture through which the cable shield can be introduced being provided in the said contact element. Under these circumstances, the contact element is shaped in such a way that connection of the cable shield to a counterplug can take place by means of a contact part which is to be provided inside the plug connector housing, or by means of the electrically conductive outer cover of the plug connector, or via both methods.
