Abstract

An electrical plug comprises first and second housings rotatable between an open position and a closed position. The first and second housings each have contact elements arranged therein. A cable end seating is arranged between the first and second housings. The cable end seating has a first surface facing the first housing and an opposing second surface facing the second housing. The first and second surfaces are each provided with at least one seating for receiving a conductor element of a cable to be connected to the plug. The contact elements electrically contact the conductor elements when the first and second housings are in the closed position.
