  • Patent number: 7540789
    Abstract: The invention specifically relates to a plug-and-socket connection part (1) of a plug-and-socket connection for a data transmission cable with a plurality of electrical conductors, comprising a connection housing, and per electrical conductor, a connection contact element (31) held by the connection housing, in each case with one insulation displacement contact (31.1) or a piercing contact, for contacting the electrical conductor, as well as in each case a contact (13.1) for contacting corresponding contacts of a corresponding counter piece with the plug-and-socket connection part. Each insulation displacement contact (31.1) or each piercing contact is electrically connectable to one of the contacts. The invention is characterized essentially in that the connection housing is shaped, such that the connection contact elements (31) may not be introduced from the outside into the connection housing.
