The stress plate three is bolted to the mounting part by bolts 12. The surrounding roll-formed rim thirteen of the stress plate is pressed against the seal. Firstly, the mounting half 1 is bolted to the connector housing 6, whereby an enclosing groove 24 can be supplied on the bottom facet of the mounting part, during which groove a sealing ring 19 is inserted for sealing the inside space of the housing against foreign supplies and humidity. At the placement of the cable entry, there thus outcomes a troubleproof seal towards the entry of international supplies or humidity. Thereby outcomes, on the one hand, a tight hold of the cable within the cable entry, and however, additionally a seal towards exterior influences, akin to dust and humidity. According to 1 embodiment of the invention it is feasible that in an apparatus for cable entry, there is inserted not just one single flat cable, but also a number of, parallel guided, "stacked-up" flat cables. FIGS. 16A, 16B, and 16C are views of the stress plate of the embodiment of FIGS. FIGS. 14A and 14B are views of the seal of the embodiment of FIGS.

FIGS. 15A and 15B are views of the pressure disk of the embodiment of FIGS. Another embodiment is particularly advantageous with respect to manufacturing and storage costs, because it can be used with a uniform cable entry for all attainable cable configurations or any number of cables. With a view to facilitate better understanding of the embodiment of the varied elements of the flat cable entry and their interactions. In order to attain a superb clamping action, the clamp 4 is provided with a rib 16 extending in a transversal course to the cable, and the clamp 5 is supplied with two stress ribs 17. Appropriate roundings on the ribs forestall cable injury, whereby the externally going through edges 18 of the clamps, which face in the direction of the outgoing cable, are also provided with roundings so as to forestall cable damage when the cable is bent. So as to obtain an optimum clamping, the bending-resistant clamp four is provided with a transversely extending rib 16, whereas the clamp 5, which is also bending-resistant, has two ribs 17 at a distance from each other. For this objective, considered one of the 2 clamps is supplied with faucet holes, and the posts and the other clamp is respectively provided with openings for bolts 15. When the 2 clamps are bolted collectively, the flat cable 9 is clamped between them and held safely in place.

The mounting half 1 is furthermore supplied with two perpendicular, lateral posts 14, to which the tensile stress relief clamps 4, 5 are fastened. In response to the invention, the item is achieved whereby a frame-formed mounting half is offered on which posts are arranged on opposite sides, and whereby in the underside area of the mounting part there's provided a cable passage facing in the course of the inner space of the housing; a groove with rim-facet help shoulders for an insertable, elastic seal is provided in the mounting half; the seal is supplied with an opening corresponding to the shape of the cross-section of the flat cable; with interposition of the flat cable, the tensile stress relief clamps might be bolted together with the posts of the mounting part. Within the recess 103 of the mounting half 102 is inserted a seal a hundred and ten which is fabricated from elastic material, equivalent to mushy rubber, foam rubber or the like. The stress plate 3, which is previously slipped over the flat cable, is then bolted to the mounting part. The stress plate 3 is organized over the seal. Furthermore, a strain plate 112 is pushed over the cable and bolted to the mounting part through the bolts 113, which are threaded into the bores 108. An enclosing roll-shaped rim 114 of the stress plate presses thereby on the upper disk 111 which compresses the seal.

Bores 31 are provided for the fastening to the mounting part. Cable entries supplied with tensile stress relief are typically known for spherical cables. This course of tends to be expensive and intricate because the soldering operation includes focusing on the by holes of the flex cable to the solder tails after passing the cable by means of the connector's strain relief bar. The item of the invention is due to this fact to provide a cable entry for flat cable, which is extensively adapted to the dimensions of flat cable (width/thickness), which provides enough safety against intrusion of international materials, and which, with respect to tensile stress, provides safety for the cable, offering the inserted cable simultaneously additionally with protection against bending stresses. The invention refers to an apparatus for inserting a flat cable in wall openings, housing walls, etc., specifically for housings of connectors. Additionally, it also needs to be assured that bending stresses do not trigger cable harm. Cable entries should be sufficiently protected in opposition to tensile stress of the cable in an effort to avoid, in a given case, that the cable is not going to be pulled out of the housing or the cable entry device, and that no inadequate tensile stresses happen at the areas of line connections.
