Abstract

An electrical plug module includes a first housing and a second housing. The first housing has terminal contacts and insulation displacement contacts arranged therein. Each of the insulation displacement contacts is electrically connected to one of the terminal contacts. The second housing has wire receiving openings for receiving individual conductors of a cable. The wire receiving openings correspond to the insulation displacement contacts and are arranged in at least two separate planes. The first housing and the second housing are rotatable relative to one another between an open position and a closed position. The individual conductors are insertable into the wire receiving openings in the open position and are electrically connected to the insulation displacement contacts in the closed position.
