Abstract
A screw for a touch-proof plug connection includes a screw body and a touch protection device. The screw body has a screw head and a screw shank extending from the screw head along a screw-in direction to a screw tip. The screw tip has a connecting element. The touch protection element has a connection device on a coupling side. The connection device is a connection counterpart to the connecting element and connects the touch protection element to the screw body. The touch protection element has an electrically insulating surface on a front side that points in the screw-in direction in a connected state of the screw body and the touch protection element.
