An electrical plug having a housing which surrounds a plug-in area, in which the plug may be connected with the plug receptacle, and a cable area, in which the cable may be connected to the plug, an insulator sleeve which surrounds a channel extending from the plug-in area to the cable area, into which channel an inner conductor element connected with the cable may be introduced from the cable area, a support sleeve which surrounds the insulator sleeve, connected with the insulator sleeve in the plug-in area and is connected with the housing in the cable area, a first cavity between the insulator sleeve and the support sleeve, into which an outer conductor element connected with the cable may be introduced, and a second cavity, which surrounds the support sleeve in the plug-in area, and into which a shield element of the plug receptacle may be introduced is disclosed.

Electrical plug and method of fitting the plug

A contact arrangement comprises an electrical contact element including a plate member with a contact slot configured to receive an electrically insulated conductor. The plate member has first and second plate arms extending there from that delimit the contact slot. At least one retaining element extends from a plane of the plate member configured to secure the electrical contact element in a housing. The retaining element has first and second retaining surfaces arranged at a fixed angle to each other. The fixed angle is less than 180 degrees. A housing has a contact accommodating chamber that receives the electrical contact element. The contact accommodating chamber has first and second conductor receiving openings and a wall. The retaining element engaging the wall when the electrical contact element is positioned in the contact accommodating chamber.
