Patent abstract

A ribbon cable plug-in connector (10) for connecting electronic components includes a plurality of plug-in contacts (14a, 14b) arranged in a plug-in connector element (11). A contact element (12a, 12b) arranged on the plug-in connector element (11) is provided for full-surface contact-making with an electrically conductive ribbon cable shielding (17, 17a, 17b) which encloses the ribbon cable (16) on its outside. For fixing the ribbon cable shielding (17, 17a, 17b) on the contact element (12a, 12b) there is preferably provided at least one clamping element (15a, 15b), which is given a resilient configuration. The ribbon cable plug-in connector (10) according to the invention allows contact between the ribbon cable shielding (17, 17a, 17b) and the ribbon cable plug-in connector (10) to be easily established and ensures a high shielding level.
