  • the end pieces can at least partially also hold receptacles for contact pin elements or have contact sleeve elements. So that becomes a particularly small minimum height of the connector allows. For this purpose, only two end pieces can be directly connected to one another be, of which at least one contact pin elements or Contact sleeve elements carries. In this way, the invention Components created a flat, single-layer connector.
  • the contact pin elements and the contact sleeve elements can be locked in the receptacles.
  • the contact elements are thus advantageously fixed in their position and against inadvertent pressing out during manufacture of the Plug connection secured.
  • the latching position of the contact element by a stop provided in the recording is determined. The assembly the plug or the socket can thereby be facilitated.
  • an extension of a neighboring module or an end piece can be engaged, which is an inserted and locked contact element from the Insert side behind with little play.
  • This lock will thereby advantageously automatically when assembling the modules appropriate. The production of the additional lock can therefore do not accidentally refrain from assembling.
  • the Extension advantageously at the same time as an element for querying the correct one Positioning of the contact element, since the extension is the contact element cannot reach behind if positioned incorrectly.
  • the extension also advantageous with the stop for the contact element together.
  • the modules and the end pieces are preferably designed to be clipped onto one another. This makes it easier to assemble the plugs and sockets and accelerated.
