Abstract
The present invention relates to an electrical plug-in connector () in particular for high-voltage connections, comprising an outer body () having a plug opening () for receiving a mating plug-in connector (), a terminal housing ('″) for fastening an electrical contact (), and a finger protection member () projecting into the plug-in direction (X) towards the plug opening (). Further, the present invention relates to a finger protection member () for an electrical high-voltage plug-in connector (), with a bar-shaped body having a protection end (), and to a construction kit for a high-voltage electrical plug-in connector (), comprising an outer body () with a plug opening () for receiving a mating plug-in connector (), and at least one terminal housing (′″) for fastening an electrical contact (). Finally, the present invention relates to a method for assembling a plug-in connector (), in particular for high-voltage connections, wherein a terminal housing (′″) of the plug-in connector () is inserted into an outer body () of the plug-in connector () having a plug opening () which opens towards a plug-in direction (X) of the plug-in connector (). In order to provide a plug-in connector () which is more plug-compatible than 1 known connectors with a finger protection device (), yet user friendly, the present invention provides that the finger protection member () is a separate piece engaged with the terminal housing (′″).
