Abstract
An electrical plug-in connection (100) provides a positive connection of a plug-in element (110) to a receiving element (120) within a medical device arrangement (700). The plug-in element forms a male part with an insertion area (112). The receiving element forms a female part with a receptacle (122) corresponding to the insertion area. In a plugged-together state this provides an electrical connection between a plug-side cable (118) connected to the plug-in element and a receptacle-side cable (128) connected to the receiving element via at least two contact areas. The insertion area is 180° rotationally symmetrical relative to an insertion axis (140) of the electrical plug-in connection. The insertion axis is oriented to an insertion direction, whereby a pole reversal of the electrical plug-in connection is allowed without being mirror symmetrical in relation to a reference plane comprising the insertion axis.
