Abstract
For connection elements, which are designed as pin contacts or contact tubes and disposed in an insulating housing, for the electrical contacting of the respective connection ends with an electrical conductor having a plurality of strands it is proposed to provide the connection ends with a structure, which is shaped in a saw-tooth-like manner and is surrounded by a slotted sleeve, wherein into the slot of the latter a wedge element is insertable so that, in the open state of the sleeve, the strands are insertable into the gap between saw-tooth contour and sleeve and, when the wedge element is removed, the strands are pressed into the saw-tooth contour by the resiliently designed sleeve.
