Method for producing an electrically conductive connection between a component (), which is positioned in a housing, is equipped with electrical contacts and is accessible from the outside through an opening located in a wall of the housing, and a feed source, using a plug-type element (), which is equipped with electrical mating contacts () and is fitted to the end of an electrical line, which is connected to the feed source and has at least two insulated conductors (). The plug-type element ()together with conductors () connected thereto is first fixed on one end of a holder () made from plastic, whose outer dimensions are smaller than the clear width of the opening () of the housing (). Then the plug-type element () is passed through the opening () of the housing () by means of the holder () and is plugged onto the contacts () of the component (). Finally the holder () is detached from the plug-type element () once the end position of the plug-type element () has been reached, whilst remaining in the housing () or in its opening (). The holder () may also support a closure () to close the opening ().
