Abstract

An electromechanical plug device is designed with a mating plug connector for electrical and mechanical connection with a mating plug connector. The plug connector comprises an outgoing cable part with a circuit substrate and a contact carrying drum able to be moved in relation to the outgoing cable part. The drum possesses first plug contacts for making contact with second plug contacts formed on the mating plug connector. Moreover, the first plug contacts have first abutment type contact faces provided on the axial rear side of the outgoing cable part, such abutment type contact faces so cooperating with second abutment type contact faces provided on the circuit substrate that the outgoing cable part is able to be positioned at different angular settings in relation to the contact carrying drum.
