Abstract
A multipole electrical plug connector having contact elements narrowly spaced from one another, and the plug connector having small dimensions in a manner favorable in terms of production engineering. To this end, the plug connector has contact elements, each having an attachment section and a contact section, whose attachment sections are manufactured from a one-piece self-supporting punched grid. The thickness d of the punched grid is independent of the thickness a of the contact sections, which are produced separately from the attachment sections and are assembled with them to form the contact elements, which upon integration into a housing of an electrical device are partially equipped with a sheathing made of plastic. The plug connector is preferably used in automotive engineering, for example, in electrical control units with highly integrated circuits.
