The invention relates to an electrically conductive contact element () for an electric plug connector. The electrically conductive contact element () comprises a contact region () for making detachable electric contact with a mating contact element of a mating plug connector, and comprises a cable connecting region () for the connection of a cable. The contact element () comprises a cooling cavity (), which opens into a distal opening () of the cable connecting region () which is arranged opposite the contact region ().

Electrically conductive contact element for an electric plug connector

A plug connector for connecting to an electric connection of a fuel injector of an internal combustion engine can comprise a rail extending in a longitudinal direction and at least one insulating element arranged in a linearly movable manner in the longitudinal direction relative to the rail, wherein the at least one insulating element protrudes out of the rail in a transverse direction. In some embodiments, the at least one insulating element comprises means for electrically connecting to the electric connection of the fuel injector in an oil-tight and releasable manner on a side facing away from the rail in the transverse direction. In some embodiments, the rail comprises a guide extending in the longitudinal direction configured to guide the at least one insulating element relative to the rail in the longitudinal direction and hold the same in a formfitting manner in the transverse direction relative to the rail.
