Abstract
The invention relates to a cable connection box (1) for electrically connecting wires of a connecting cable to a circuit board (8) of an electrical device, in particular an electrical household appliance. The cable connection box (1) comprises a housing (2) with a housing base (3) and a housing cover (4), which can be selectively closed to enclose a connection space (A) and selectively opened to expose the connection space (A) for connecting the wires of the connecting cable, as well as a cable bushing (5) for feeding the connecting cable into the connection space (A).The cable connection box (1) further comprises at least one contact element (6) with a contact section (60) for the direct electrical connection of at least one of the wires (L) of the connection cable in the connection space (A), as well as with at least one contact pin (61) which is electrically connected to the contact section (60) and protrudes from the housing (2) in such a way as to be directly connected to a printed circuit board (8) by means of a soldered connection and / or plug connection.
