Abstract
The electrical connector has contact elements in adjacent contact chambers in an insulating housing (1), each element having a crimping zone for the connection of stranded conductors. In addition, there is provided in the housing in each case one slot (16) for holding a locking strip (31) which interacts with in each case one locking edge (22) of each contact element. In order to avoid the spread strand ends from straying into adjacent contact chambers when the locking strip (31) is inserted at right angles to the longitudinal axis of the contact elements and hence causing a short-circuit, each crimping zone is located on a side of the wall of the partially-tubular contact element (2,102) which is opposite the locking edge.
