Abstract

The present invention relates to a plug comprising a main housing, at least one conductor guide and a supplementary part. To improve the plug such that the conductor guide can be assembled as easily as possible and its correct position easily checked, with the conductor guide still being well secured, the conductor guide comprises a retaining profile with which a partial profile of the main housing and a supplementary profile of the supplementary part can be brought, at least in certain sections, into engagement so as to correspond with each other. The supplementary part can be moved relative to the main housing between a starting position and a closed position, and in the starting position the conductor guide can be positioned in an opening formed with the partial profile and the supplementary profile and is axially loosely movable and in the closed position is rotatably and axially fixed relative to the main housing and the supplementary part owing to the engagement of the holding profile with the partial profile and the supplementary profile.
