In order to ensure a reliable connection between a shield (16) of a high-voltage cable (2) and a housing (4), in particular for an electric or hybrid vehicle, the shield (16) of the cable (2) is crimped between an under-sleeve (20) and a contact sleeve (18), forming an electrically conductive connection with the housing (4) via the contact sleeve (18). The contact sleeve (18), formed as a crimp sleeve, also has a rim made of spring tongues (32). In addition, the under-sleeve (20) is also simultaneously crimped with a cable sheathing (30) of the cable (2) in order to create a strain relief. Furthermore, the cable (2) can be preferably fixed to the housing (4) by means of a simple plug-locking connection.
