Abstract
The invention relates to a releasable multi-plug connector comprising a socket side () with an insulating socket housing () and with a plurality of socket elements () which are received in the socket housing () and which comprise a socket portion () and a contact portion () for connecting to an external element in an electrically conductive manner, in particular a multipolar cable. The plug connector also comprises a plug side () with an insulating plug housing () and with a plurality of plug elements () which are received in the plug housing () and which comprise a pin portion () and a contact portion () for connecting to an external element in an electrically conductive manner, in particular a multipolar cable. The socket housing () and the plug housing () can be connected together along a plug direction (S), said pin portions () of the plug elements () protruding into the socket portions () of the socket elements () in the plugged state such that an electric contact can be provided between the socket side () and the plug side () via the socket portion () and the pin portion (). The socket housing () and the plug housing () have a contact surface () via which the socket housing () and the plug housing () are in contact. A wall () extends from the contact surface () of the plug housing () or the socket housing (), said wall at least partly surrounding the pin portions () or the socket portions (), and an opening () extends from the contact surface () that does not have the wall () into the socket housing () or the plug housing (), the socket portions () or the pin portions () lying in said opening (). The wall () cross-section perpendicular to the plug direction matches the opening () cross-section perpendicular to the plug direction, and the wall () protrudes into the opening () in the plugged state.
