A clamping device (1), for coupling a sensor cable (2) to an electrical contact, has a circumferential, elastically deformable frame (3). The frame has an outer surface (5), an inner surface (6) facing an inner area (4), a first end face (7) and an opposite second end face (8). A contact device (9) is held at the frame and extends into the inner area. A counter-holding device (10), at the frame, has a counter-holding element (11). The contact device and the counter-holding device form a receiving space for holding the electrical contact in a holding position. A relative movement into a first released position is brought about by a pressing on both sides from the outside against the outer surface on a first frame axis (12). A second released position is provided by pressing on both sides against the frame outer surface on a second frame axis (13).
