Patent ID: 7491085

Claim:
A ribbon cable plug-in connector for connecting electronic components comprising (a) a plug-in connector element that comprises a plurality of plug-contacts, (b) a first contact element arranged on the plug-in connector element for full-surface contact-making with an electrically conductive ribbon cable shielding that encloses an outside surface of a ribbon cable, and (c) at least one clamping element which is cut out of the first contact element, is arranged at the first contact element, and is contacting the ribbon cable shielding wherein the at least one clamping element is given a resilient configuration that provides a resilient force onto the conductive ribbon cable shielding, and the conductive ribbon cable shielding is clamped between the at least one clamping element and the first contact element due to the resilient force provided by the at least one clamping element.
