Abstract
To provide for reliably sealing conductors or cables into a plug connector housing, the plug connector housing is formed with bores (2) in each of which a sealing bushing or sleeve (5) is located surrounding the outer insulating jacket (3a) of the conductor or cable. To protect the seals and prevent distortion and damage to the seals upon bending of the cables, and end seating and retaining part is received in an end recess (9) of the housing . The end seating and retaining part, in accordance with the invention, is formed of two half elements (11, 12) which surround the cables (3) and extend through the recess (9) from the bores (2) towards the end of the housing. The two elements (11, 12), each, are retained in the housing by a projection-and-recess snap-in connection (21, 23; 22, 24), and the two elements permit easy assembly which can be automated for mass production. For two or more conductor plugs the recess is 'figure 8' or undulated shaped, and the two half-elements are 'half-figure 8' or undulated elements, each with semi-cylindrical recesses (17, 18) surrounding an associated conductor or cable, which extends inwardly into an individual bore (2) in the housing.
