Abstract
The connector includes an electrically insulating one-part or multi-part housing, in which at least one contact element is arranged, which is accessible via a first opening of the housing by a contact element of a complimentary second connector, and which is connectable with an electrical cable that can be introduced through a second opening of the housing. The housing of the assembled connector, which is made from a first material, includes at least a first coupling element, which corresponds to at least one second coupling element that is included on a tubular element, which is manufactured from a second material which after processing includes a higher mechanical strength than the first material, and wherein the housing is releasably held within the tubular element by the releasably interlinked coupling elements.
