Abstract

A pluggable connection housing (1) with a boot (2) has at least one contact passageway (7, 8) having plug-in apertures (5, 6) at its two ends. Respective ends of male and female members arranged on cables can be arranged therein and produce a pluggable connection. The book (2) can be at least partially detachably fastened to the pluggable connection housing (1). In order to simplify construction and handling of pluggable connection housing (1) and boot (2) and, at the same time, to allow more ways of arranging the boot (2) relative to the pluggable connection housing (1), the boot (2) is substantially tubular and has a peripheral undercut at least in certain places in the peripheral direction at one plug-in end, which undercut engages with at least one undercut element (12) arrange in the plug-in aperture (5, 6) in the plugged-in position (13) of the plug-in end (9).
