ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a plug-in connector (10) with a connector housing (12) having at least one rearwardly open contact cavity (30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80), which comprises at least one contact element receiving means (31, 51, 71a, 71b) for receiving a contact element (11a, 11b, 11c), and at least one guide groove (32a, 32b, 42a, 42b, 52a, 52b, 52c, 52d, 62a, 62b, 62c, 62d, 72a, 72b, 72c, 72d, 82a, 82b, 82c, 82d) for guiding a contact element locking means (21a, 21b, 21c) provided on the contact element (11a, 11b, 11c). A first guide groove (32a, 42a, 52a, 62a, 72a, 82a) arranged on one side of the contact element receiving means (31, 51, 71a, 71b) is provided on its forward end with a first abutment (34a, 44a, 54a, 64a, 82a) for a forward contact shoulder (22a, 22b, 22c) of the contact element locking means (21a, 21b, 21c). A further guide groove (32b, 42b, 52b, 52c, 52d, 62b, 62c, 62d, 72b, 72c, 72d, 82b, 82c, 82d) provided on at least one further side of the contact element receiving means (31, 51, 71a, 71b) is likewise provided on its forward end with a further abutment (34b, 44b, 54b, 54c, 54d, 64b, 64c, 64d, 74b, 74c, 74d, 84b, 84c, 84d) for the forward contact shoulder (22a, 22b, 22c), for alternative assembly of the contact element (11a, 11b, 11c) in a position rotated by 90 degrees/180 degrees. In case of repair, the contact elements (11a, 11b, 11c) can be exchanged from the front (15) of the plug-in connector (10).
