Abstract
A closure for an electrical connector for sealing the inside of the connector from its surroundings, when a female or male contact part will not be used. A dummy contact having a cylindrical extent, a collar and a gripping element is placed into the unused cavity. The orientation at which the dummy contact is inserted into the cavity depends on whether the cavity is adapted for a male or female contact part.
