A cable/line lead-in an insertion sleeve including a connection section and a contact, and a clamping part. The clamping part is detachably placeable on the connecting section of the insertion sleeve in the direction of the contact flange. The insertion sleeve and clamping part are assembled from at least two individual elements divided essentially in the axial direction. Guides are arranged along corresponding partition edges of the insertion sleeve and the clamping part are to accurately position the at least two individual elements of each insertion sleeve and clamping part.
