A coupling element is proposed for a single wire or multi-wire electrical cable. The coupling element has a contact support to which a protective body surrounding the cable connection is molded in such a way that a region of the surface of the contact support remains exposed. The exposed region (,) has openings (,) extending through the contact support and contacts that are conductively connected with a wire of the cable (,) and arranged in the openings. A closed cover (,) is provided in close contact with the contact support (,) and extends over the openings (,). The cover (,) is provided with a passage (,) having the edges surrounding and fitting tightly against the cable (,). The protective body (,) surrounds the cover (,) and the passage (,) and is in moisture-tight sealing engagement with the contact support (,) and the cable (,). A method for producing the coupling element provides for molding the protective body (,) so it surrounds the cover (,).
