ABSTRACT:
A connector housing has a longitudinal axis and includes a first housing portion, having a front end face and a rear end, and at least two accommodation chambers extending parallel to the longitudinal axis, and receiving respectively an electrical contact element, and having a connector tab. The accommodation chambers have, respectively, an insertion opening for a mating contact element and an exiting opening for the connector tab, open to the front end face. An elastic locking arm is provided for each accommodation chamber for retaining the contact element in the accommodation chamber. A second housing portion is formed integrally with the first housing portion and forms an accommodation chamber, into which a portion of a housing of a mating connector can be inserted. The second housing portion has contact elements having female contact terminals, which can be electrically connected to the contact elements. A short-circuit bridge, made from an electrically conductive material, is retained in the first housing portion and includes for each contact element an elastic contact arm. The contact arms are connected to each other and serve to contact the connector tabs. In an initial position, a front holder supports the contact arms in the lifted position and in the final position leaves these unloaded, so that these can contact the connector tabs.
