Abstract
The invention relates to a connector comprising a plug element and a socket element which can be detachably connected to the plug element for connection of a transmission line to at least one sensor. This connection prevents moisture, dust or dirt particles and corrosive substances penetrating between the plug element and the socket element from adversely affecting the signal transmission between the plug element and the socket element. The connector utilizes an inductive, optical or capacitive contactless signal transmission between the plug element and the socket element.
