Abstract
A fixation device for fixing a contact element within a connector. The device includes a housing defining a contact element receptacle for receiving a contact element and a support face defining a deflection surface for supporting the contact element within the housing, and a clamping device for clamping the contact element in the contact element receptacle with a clamping force directed in a clamping direction. The deflection surface is oriented at an angle relative to the clamping direction such that it deflects a component or portion of the clamping force acting upon the contact element in a direction transverse to the clamping direction.
