Abstract

A cable plug is provided for connecting a multiplicity of cable leads to a modular plug, which is formed of a plurality of plate-like contact carriers being pre-fitted with IDC contacts. The contact carriers are fitted in succession onto the cable leads and are stacked on one another to form a contact block. The contact block can be inserted in a contact block casing formed of two insulating parts and locked in a particularly conducting plug housing being formed, for example, of two half-shells. The invention is suitable for connecting multi-lead cables to cable plugs, especially to shielded cable plugs.
