A connecting arrangement includes at least first and second housings in which at least one conductor of a first cable can be electrically connected to at least one conductor of a second cable fed via a cable receiver. At least one piercing element is electrically connected to the second cable and configured to be inserted transversely into the conductor of the first cable. The cable receiver is constructed as an integral unit with the second housing and the piercing element. A sealing element configured to seal a piercing point of the piercing element is arranged on an inner side of the second housing and the cable receiver is disposed on an outer side of the second housing. The sealing element and the cable receiver are formed in one piece through the second housing.
