ABSTRACT:
A plug connector may include an electrically insulated contact holder and a plug contact or contact element located in a contact chamber of the contact holder. The plug connector may be configured as a multi-pole plug connector exhibiting a plurality of contact chambers and contact elements. A plug contact or contact element may have an outwardly curving annular bead and may be configured as a bearing support with an annular groove in the contact chamber. The annular groove may be configured to complement the contour of the annular bead. The annular groove may be located in the terminal area on the connection side of a contact chamber. Alternatively, the annular groove may be located in the contact element and the annular bead may be disposed in the contact chamber. The plug connector may be manufactured without a water tight connection, if desired. A plug connector according to the invention is extremely cost effective in both the manufactured and configuration and has the advantages of a floating contact layout relative to the position tolerances of the contact elements and the manufacturing tolerances of the contact elements. The plug connector may be produced as a water tight plug connector without resorting to additional measures.
