Abstract

In order to design a plug connector made of a housing (2), housing modules (6, 7) and plug-in modules (33) in such a way that a readily assembled modular system is produced which fulfils the known requirements with regard to the sealing of contact parts and system sealing, the plug-in module (33) sliding along the housing modules (6, 7) can be inserted into hollow spaces (8, 9), wherein in one of their longitudinal walls (14, 15, 34, 35) the modules (6, 7, 33) are constructed with flaps (16, 17, 36, 37) which can be swivelled outwardly in the plug-in direction (S) for locking contact parts (10, 57).
