Abstract

A module connector comprises a first connector including a first conductor attached to the first connector at a conductor point of the first connector and a second connector capable of being electrically connected with the first connector and including a second conductor attached to the second connector at a conductor point of the second connector. The first connector and the second connector each have an affixing element and a touch protection disposed on a connection side. The touch protection includes an outer electrically insulated collar and an electrically insulated protection pin surrounded by the collar. A current bridge is disposed between the collar and the protection pin and electrically connects the conductor point of the first connector with the conductor point of the second connector. The collar and the protection pin project beyond the current bridge.
