Abstract
A plug connector to connect two electrical assemblies is provided that establishes a releasable connection between the assemblies, such as cells of a battery. The plug connector includes two contact pins, each connected to an electrical assembly, and a parallel plug connector with a busbar that is firmly connected to two contact housings. The length and shape of the parallel plug connector are adapted to the spacing of the contact pins of adjacent electrical assemblies when in the installed position. In this installed position, the parallel plug can connect the electrical assemblies together. In this form, tolerances in the position of the electrical assemblies are compensated in the insertion direction. The contact housings have common insertion directions and the parallel plug is movable from the insertion direction onto the two contact pins simultaneously. In this form, the parallel plug can be inserted after installation of the electrical assemblies.
