A crimp ferrule includes an assembly portion assembled on a non-circular internal cross section of a multi-core cable and a diameter compensation portion forming a circular external cross section of the crimp ferrule on the multi-core cable. The assembly portion and the diameter compensation portion are arranged successively in an axial direction of the crimp ferrule.

Electrical multi-core cable crimp ferrule, and crimping method

An electrical crimp ferrule includes a circumferential center portion, a first circumferential flank connected to the center portion, and a second circumferential flank connected to the center portion. The circumferential center portion integrally connects the first and second circumferential flanks. At least one crimp diameter compensation element extends from at least one of the first circumferential flank or the second circumferential flank and is adapted to engage with an electrical cable having a non-circular cross section in a crimped state of the ferrule.

Integrated cable processing device

A first contact device is adapted to fasten to a second contact device of a contact system. The first contact device includes a first contact housing having a first contact receptacle, an actuating unit adapted to be swiveled between a first position and a second position different from the first position, and a contact element arranged in the first contact receptacle and electrically connected to an earthing line. The first contact housing is connected to the actuating unit. The contact element has a contact spring arranged in the first contact receptacle in the first position and, in the second position, the actuating unit adjoins the contact spring. The contact spring is swiveled at least partially out of the first contact receptacle and contacts a shielding contact of the second contact device.
