Abstract
A plug connector consisting of a plug body () and an engaging part () is provided with short-circuiting contacts () within the plug body. The engaging part () includes at least one separating element () of insulating material that is inserted between the short circuit contacts () when plug body () and engaging part () are inserted to interrupt the short circuit. For the purpose of simpler matching to the quantity of conductors to be short-circuited and to be connected, the plug body () and the engaging part () each consist of modules () that may be stacked one upon the other and are assigned to each of the conductors within the plug body () that are of varying polarity and that are to be short-circuited. The short circuit contacts () of the plug body () are so arranged on the modules () that each is extended to the short circuit contacts () working together for two adjacent plug body modules (). The engaging part modules () include a separating element () that is inserted between two adjacent plug body modules () to separate the short circuit contacts () during the plugging process.
