Abstract
Abstract The connector system comprises an outlet and a single connector or a double connector. The single connector is suitable for connection of a service with four poles. The module of the outlet has four chambers, one pair of wires of the cable, shielded in pairs, being accepted per chamber. Two contact pins each are mounted per chamber of the module. The outlet comprises a base part and a cover. The single connector comprises a cover and a floor. Disposed in the housing, formed by the cover and the floor, are two guide bodies. The guide bodies each have two through holes in which sockets are provided for connection with the contact pins of the outlet. The guide bodies are provided with a shield on their part protruding beyond the housing, which shield is in contact with the inner wall of the chambers of the outlet. The ground connection is realized continuously throughout the connector system. The connector system is EMC-tight. With this connector system one or two services, as desired, can be connected, four wires of the eight-core cable of the outlet being used per service. The conductors extend essentially right through the connector system, which has an advantageous effect on the attenuation.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
269 words
A multipolar connector system with an outlet and at least one connector for electrical and mechanical connection of electrical conductors wherein: the outlet comprises an outlet housing which has a metallic surface on all sides; the outlet housing is divided into a plurality of individual, outwardly open chambers; two first connector contacts, accessible from outside, are disposed in each of the chambers; the at least one connector comprises a connector housing, which has a metallic surface on all sides; at least two guide bodies are disposed in the connector housing; two second connector contacts, accessible from outside, are disposed in each of the at least two guide bodies; and one of the at least two guide bodies per chamber is engageable in the chamber of the outlet, so that the two first and the two second connector contacts connect, wherein for connection of multi-core cables, each wire of the cable is led and connected inside the outlet essentially in an axial direction of the two first connector contacts, and each wire of another cable is led and connected inside the connector essentially in an axial direction of the two second connector contacts; and wherein the connectable cables are shielded cables which have a first shield under a cable sheathing, the shield enclosing all wires of the cable, each two wires twisted together of the cable are enclosed with a second shield, the second shield is led inside the outlet housing directly up to the two first connector contacts, and the second shield of another cable is led inside the connector housing directly up to the two second connector contacts.
