Abstract: A connection unit includes an insulating mounting frame and multiple resilient press-on contacts situated on the mounting frame. Each press-on contact includes a helical pressure spring that can exert an elastic force on a metal contact body. The contact body is connected in one piece to a connection plug or a connection socket. For each press-on contact, the mounting frame includes a hollow cylinder that forms a cavity within a circumferential wall, the cavity being closed off by a cover that is situated so as to be axially displaceable at the wall of the hollow cylinder. The pressure spring is situated inside the cavity, and with its elastic force acts on the cover. The contact body, in one piece, forms a contact disk that is situated on the outer side of the cover.
