Abstract

A plug arrangement for a plurality of individual plugs with individual hongs and each having at least one contact pin, with the individual plugs being connectable in a holder into a uniformly manipulatable plug, wherein the individual housing of each individual plug is surrounded by a cylindrical sleeve, rectangular in cross section, which is open at one end for insertion and has in an end wall on the opposite side, an opening to allow at least one contact of individual plug to pass through. The plug arrangement is especially usable for medical equipment in conjunction with body electrodes. Adaptation to different plug bushings from different equipment manufacturers is made possible by using sleeves with different wall thicknesses. In addition, a required colored marking of the individual plugs can be provided by using sleeves of different colors, so that individual plugs can all be made the same color.
