Abstract

An electrical plug connector comprises a connection module having a plurality of contact elements for establishing an electrical connection to corresponding contact elements of a socket connector, and a terminal module having a plurality of terminal elements, each for connecting a conductor of a cable. The terminal module is adapted to be detachably connected to the connection module in order to establish an electrical connection between each of the terminal elements and a contact element. The connection module comprises a housing into which the terminal module can be inserted, and a strain relief which is connected to the housing and engages over the terminal module, wherein a cable connected to the terminal module is adapted to be fixed to the connection module by means of the strain relief.
