Abstract

A first plug connector module of a plug connector for substantially simultaneously connecting a plurality of electrical contacts between a test signal generator and a measurement card of a handling fixture which delivers elements to be tested to the measurement card. The plug connector module is characterized in that it has an element that is rotatable about an axis of rotation and has, coupled to the rotatable element, a receptacle that accommodates a mating part of a second plug connector module and that is displaced in translation upon rotation of the element relative to the first plug connector module, wherein the translational motion occurs perpendicular to the axis of rotation.
