Abstract:
A mounting arrangement (1) for an oblong structure which has an electrical shielding (4) and is connected in a usage position using an electrically conductive insert (6) that has electrically conductive clamping fingers (8) and is in electrical connection with a mounting surface, where the mounting surface has a generally cylindrical receptacle opening (7) for insertion and guiding through of the oblong structure and for receiving the electrically conducting insert (6), the electrically conducting insert comprising a mounting ring (9) having the electrically conductive clamping fingers (8) projecting from the mounting ring in an axial direction, the electrically conductive clamping fingers having outer sides that function to create a contact, at least one projection (10) that functions as a contact point between the clamping fingers and an inside wall of the receptacle opening is arranged at a first distance from a free end (8a) of the clamping fingers (8), and at a second distance from the mounting ring (9) respectively, the first distance being greater than the second distance, the at least one projection (10) of the clamping fingers (8) extend in a relaxed position of the insert (6) radially outwardly to a diameter that is larger than a corresponding dimension of an inner cross section of the receptacle opening (7) of the mounting arrangement (1), and the at least one projection is supported on the inside wall of the receptacle opening (7) of the mounting arrangement (1) under a restoring force of the clamping fingers (8), which are bent radially inwardly in a usage position in which the insert is inserted in the receptacle opening (7).
