Abstract

The invention relates to a holding arrangement for at least two electrical connection elements, such as cable lugs, for example, which each have an electrical connection section and a line section, with a base part and a cover part, which can be connected to the base part to form the holding device, the connection sections being inserted axially one on top of the other in the holding device and being fixed axially, and the line sections extending in the radial direction from radial openings of the holding device, the radial openings being designed in such a way that the connection sections cannot be withdrawn from the radial openings, in addition an axial opening being formed on the base part and/or the cover part, via which axial opening electrical contact can be made with at least one connection section of the inserted connection sections, the holding device having centering means for centering the connection sections in the holding device, and the centering means acting on the outer circumference of the connection sections.
