Abstract
The present invention relates to a spring-loaded contact connector comprising two joinable connector members of which at least a first connector member, which is watertight in a non-joined state, comprises a plurality of spring-loaded contact pins that are supported in an axially displaceable manner in the connector member against a restoring force, and a seal which surrounds and seals the spring-loaded contact pins in portions, wherein the seal is designed as a slide seal and the spring-loaded contact pins are guided in a relatively displaceable manner in the slide seal, so that the spring-loaded contact pins slide in sealed fashion along the slide seal when the connector members are joined.
