Abstract

Disclosed is a plug for shielded data cables, in particular an RJ45 plug, having an electrically conducting housing, which can be assembled from a first shell and a second shell. An electrically insulating plug body accommodates plug contacts. A printed circuit board, which can be inserted into the housing, bears the plug contacts and insulation displacement contacts and conductively connects them to one another. The printed circuit board is insulated from the housing by a non-conducting foil. The wires of the data cable to be connected can be inserted into a loading piece, wherein the wires are accommodated in two planes one above the other in the loading piece. The data cable can be mounted in the loading piece and the second shell. When the shells are assembled, the insulation displacement contacts make contact with the wires of the data cable which are accommodated in the loading piece.
