Abstract
An electrical plug-in cable connector having contact elements that are arranged in a row in chambers of a plastic housing is provided. In the longitudinal direction, each contact element has on one side a first connecting segment, in particular insulation displacement contacts for bare connection of a cable, and on their opposing side a second connecting segment, in particular a flexible tongue pair for connecting a plug contact pin or a conductor strip. A short-circuit bypass is provided between two contact elements. Formed in the connection region of the contact element between the two connecting segments, in particular between the insulation displacement contact elements and the flexible tongue pair, is a recess that is laterally accessible. The recesses of at least two of these contact elements are interconnected by inserting an electrically conducting bypass element in the transverse direction to produce the short-circuit bypass. The bypass element is arranged in the recesses with press fit.
