Abstract
An electrical connector for an electrical cable having a contact element for connection to an electrical conductor of the electrical cable. The electrical connector has an integrated cleaning tool for the electrical conductor. The cleaning tool is arranged along a feed direction for the electrical cable on the cable side upstream of the contact element. It is provided that the cleaning tool is designed to remove or at least retain particles, residues of a sheathing and/or contaminants adhering to the electrical conductor before the electrical conductor contacts the contact element of the electrical connector arranged downstream in the feed direction within the scope of a connector assembly process.
