Abstract: A modular plug connector includes a plug connector housing, a retaining frame accommodated therein, and at least one plug connector module. The retaining frame is connected to the plug connector housing by fasteners. The at least one plug connector module is accommodated in a module slot in the retaining frame by retaining elements. The plug connector modules are equipped with sensors, which are connected to evaluating electronics in the module plug connector. The evaluating electronics are provided for processing and rendering measured values of the sensors in the plug connector modules, recognizing the accommodated plug connector modules, and managing the configuration of the modular plug connector.
