Abstract:
Electrical cable connector with a connector box, electrical contacts (2), to which electrical conductors of a cable (5) can be connected, and a stress relief device clasping a clamp (11) that annularly surrounds cable (5) and that can be tightly pressed against cable (5) by screwing a clamp sleeve (13) on a thread (8, 17) designed at the rear end of the connector box, wherein to enable the conversion of the cable connector between a straight connector and an angle connector, an angle-box part (14) is designed that comprises a front section and a rear section, whose axes run at an angle in relation to each other and which consists of at least two mutually connectable shells (15, 15â€²), each of which extend over a portion of the envelope of the angle-box part (14), when shells (15, 15â€²) are assembled, wherein shells (15, 15â€²) of the angle-box part (14) comprise, in the area of their front ends, a section of an internal thread (16), and these thread sections, when shells (15, 15â€²) of the angle-box part (14) are assembled, form an internal thread (16), which is exactly compatible with an external thread (8) in the area of the rear end of a front box part (1) retaining contacts (2), and shells (15, 15â€²) of angle-box part (14) in the area of their rear ends comprise a section of an external thread (17) and these thread section, when shells (15, 15â€²) of the angle-box part (14) are assembled, form an external thread (17), and wherein to form a straight connector, clamp sleeve (13) is screwed on external thread (8) arranged on the rear end of the front box part (1) and, to form an angle connector, clamp sleeve (13) is screwed, with its internal thread (16), on the external thread (17) of the angle-box part (14) placed on external thread (8) of the front box part (1).
