Abstract

The invention relates to an electric coupling element (1). Pin or socket contact elements (20), with which an electric means of a screwable connection means (28), are arranged in an electrically insulating main part (10). Openings (18) in the main part (10) are covered by means of a covering panel (30) I order to ensure the electric insulation of the individual contact elements (20). For assembly purposes, the covering panel (30) is movably attached to the main part (10) such that the covering panels (30, 30′) of two coupling elements (1, 1′) are mutually actuated when joined together.
