Abstract
A plug for establishing an electrical connection to a plug module includes: a plug body having a contact carrier upper part which includes multiple first channels to accommodate electrical lines, and a plug base accommodating a collar of the plug module; a contact carrier lower part which includes multiple second channels to accommodate the electrical lines; and a locking element insertable into the plug from the outside and configured to fix the electrical lines in the channels. The first channels terminate in the second channels to form continuous channels accommodating the electrical lines. The contact carrier lower part is enclosed by the collar of the plug module and accommodates multiple electrical contacts of the plug module in order to establish electrical connections between the multiple electrical lines in the plug and the multiple electrical contacts of the plug module.
