Abstract
The present invention relates to an insulating body which comprises a lower part with a first engaging element, a second engaging element, and a stop, as well as an upper part with a distance collar and an engaging means arranged at the distance collar. In a first engagement position in which the first engaging element is engaged with the engaging means electrical and/or optical contacts can be arranged in the insulating body. In a second engagement position the second engaging element engages with the engaging means, with the stop of the lower part contacting the distance collar. In this manner it is ensured that the upper and lower part, due to the effective connection of the stop and the distance collar, on the one hand, securely engage with one another and, on the other hand, due to the effective connection of the stop and the distance collar assume a pregiven position relative to one another at any time.
