An electrical plug connector, including an upper housing portion 1, a lower housing portion 2 and a plug chamber 4 for a RJ plug. In the upper housing portion 1 contact elements to be wired with connecting wires are disposed. The inner ends of the connecting wires are connected with contact strips 7 projecting into the plug chamber 4 for contacting the RJ plugs. The plug chamber 4 is adapted as a separate housing portion 3 and is latchable with the lower housing portion 2 by means of connection elements 16, 17, 18, in at least two different positions. The contact strips 7 are bent off each in different directions into the plug chamber 4, depending upon the position of the plug chamber 4.

The invention relates to a plug connector for the telecommunication and data technique comprising RJ contacts disposed in a housing and insulation displacement contacts and contact strips connecting the latter. The object of the present invention, namely to improve an electrical plug connector of the type referred to hereinbefore such that its electrical parameters are substantially improved and satisfy the requirements for the transmission of high data rates, is achieved by that the contact strips are multiply and differently angled between the RJ contacts and the insulation displacement contacts, and are at least in the contact tongue area, in part not guided in one plane parallely to each other.

This invention relates to a connection device for providing a connection between on electrical cable terminated by a plug and electrically insulated wires. It has application, for example, in telecommunications where a telephone instrument is connected by a lead with an appropriate plug to a jack provided in a wall panel. The jack requires connection to telephone wires on the opposite side of the wall panel.
