Abstract
The invention relates to a contact assembly for a combined power and data connector and to a socket assembly for a mating socket. In order to provide a combined power and data connector that allows combined transport of electrical power and data signals, which is compact, solid and may be produced cost-effectively, it is intended according to the invention that a connector face of the contact assembly comprises a data section and a second section, wherein the data section comprises a plurality of data contacts, which are separated from the second section by at least one separating wall assembly, the data contacts being arranged on a carrier unit that is mounted on a data section side of the separating wall assembly, that the carrier unit further carries electric power and wherein the at least one separating wall assembly comprises a fixation sub-assembly that fixates the carrier unit onto the separating wall assembly.
