Abstract
A protective device for a multipoint connector, which contains at least one contact element in a base that is in the form of a housing, the contact element being accessible through an opening in the base, and being connectable to a plug connector; the protective device being made of a protective element, which can be transferred from a protective position preventing the coupling, into a mounting position rendering the coupling possible; and the protective device being designed in such a manner, that it can be manufactured very inexpensively, and is very easy to handle or remove. To this end, the protective element is made of a foil, which can be applied directly to the rim of the base opening, in a detachable manner.
