In order to provide a simple connection between a shield housing and a strip body, the shield housing has resilient side parts with spring arms being initially bent inwards and then outwards and being pushed over lead-in and sliding inclines on the strip body and automatically latched on an insertion side or front of the strip body. Those sections of the spring arms which are bent outwards form contact elements for the shield housing to make contact on a mounting panel. The invention is suitable for motor vehicle filter plug connectors.

Filter plug connector having a shield housing

In order to provide a simple connection between a shield housing and a strip body, the shield housing, which has resilient side parts with spring arms being bent inwards, is pushed over lead-in and sliding inclines on the strip body and automatically latches on an insertion side or front thereof. The spring arms of each side part, which are located alongside one another, alternately form contact elements providing contact between the shield housing and a mounting panel and sliding and latching elements for connecting the shield housing to the strip body. The invention is suitable for motor vehicle filter plug connectors.
