CONTACT HOUSING WITH POSITIONING MEANS FOR FIXING THE POSITION OF A BEND-DAMAGEABLE CABLE

Abstract The invention relates to a contact housing (13) for a connector (2) of a connector assembly (1) that extends through a wall (5), comprising a contact region (14), which has a contact seat (18) for receiving a contact-side end (16) of a cable that is prone to kinking (11). The invention fur¬ther relates to a connector (2) for a sealed connector assembly (1), comprising an outer housing (9), which has a cable inlet opening (15) and an interior space (19), at least sections of which form a mating-connector receptacle (25) for a mating connector (3) that is complementary to the connector (2}, and comprising a contact housing (13), at least sections of which are arranged in the interior space (19), which contact housing has a contact region (14) having a contact seat (18), and comprising a cable that is prone to kinking (11), the contact-side end (16) of which is held in the cable seat (16). The contact housing (13) according to the invention facilitates as¬sembly of the connector (2) and prevents damage to the cable that is prone to kinking (11), in that it has positioning means (46) for fixing the position of a laced section (47) of the kink-prone cable (11). The connector (2) described in the introductory part can be assembled more easily and more reliably because it comprises the contact housing (13) according to the invention, in which the laced section (47) of the kink-prone cable (11) is fixed in position by the positioning means (46).
