摘要

The device has an axial bore (2) for passing the cable (5) through, a threaded flange (3) and a nut (7) for fitting in an electrically conductive housing (11). The threaded flange has at least one slit (4). The nut clamps an electrically conductive washer (8) to the housing. The washer has at least one sprung tongue (9) that protrudes into the at least one slit and makes an electrical contact between the housing and the screening mesh (6) of the cable.
