Abstract

In order to ensure a reliable connection between a shield of a high-voltage cable and a housing, in particular for an electric or hybrid vehicle, the shield of the cable is crimped between an under-sleeve and a contact sleeve, forming an electrically conductive connection with the housing via the contact sleeve. The contact sleeve, formed as a crimp sleeve, also has a rim made of spring tongues. In addition, the under-sleeve is also simultaneously crimped with a cable sheathing of the cable in order to create a strain relief. Furthermore, the cable can be preferably fixed to the housing by a simple plug-locking connection.
