Abstract

A multi-pole electrical connector is to be designed such that it is usable under cramped installation conditions and can be cost-effectively produced. The connector has a contact set having a plurality of contact elements, each of which has a connecting section and a contact section. Both the connecting sections and the contact sections are formed from a single-layer stamped grid and are arranged in one plane. This connector is provided for use in the automobile industry, particularly in fuse boxes and electrical-system control units of motor vehicles.
