Abstract

A housing has a integral coaxial cable connector including a holder for a coupling element. The coupling element has an insertion opening into which a connecting element, in which a coaxial cable is positioned, can be inserted in a direction which is essentially at right angles to the axial axis of the connecting element. The connecting element and the holder for the coupling element are shaped such that a connecting element which has been inserted into the holder touches one or more contact points in the holder in order to make a conductive contact. The coupling element has a clamping device by means of which the connecting element can be detachably firmly clamped in a clamping position in the holder. The clamping device on the insertion opening exerts pressure on the connecting element in the clamping position, and thus presses the connecting element against the one or more contact points.
