Abstract
An electrical connecting device is described that is designed to indicate a geometrical orientation of a connection between this connecting device and a complementary connecting device when the two connecting devices are connected to one another. The connecting device comprises at least one terminal for contacting by the complementary connecting device, whereby the terminal comprises a plurality of contact regions. Differing electrical parameters are assigned to the contact region, so that in the event of a contacting of the terminal by the complementary connecting device a resultant parameter is assigned to the contacting of the terminal, which indicates in which contact region (or in which group of contact regions) the contacting exists.
