Abstract

In an electrical plug connection comprising two matching elements which can be detached at any time, in order to avoid the difficulties of pushing one element on to the other during the assembly of a piece of equipment and the uncertain contact pressure which results by doing so, the matching elements are connected to form a plug unit, which can later be detached, as part of the manufacturing operation thereby insuring good alignment when they are pushed together and guaranteeing proper contact pressure.
