Abstract: A subassembly for forming an electrical plug connection component, formed by a contact element housing 2 with chambers K for seating electrical contact elements, whereby the chambers have a radial opening 4 as the engagement opening for a locking element 11 for latching a contact element that is inserted into each chamber K, and by a latching part 3 that can be connected with the contact element housing 2 and that has at least one locking element 11, such that the latching part 3, which is found in at least two different spatial locations, can be assembled with the contact element housing 2, and that assigned to the latching part 3 is a latching device 15 for the mechanical latching of the plug connection component formed by the subassembly 1 with a mating plug connection component.

Abstract: A connector (1) with a contact carrier (2) which has several receiving areas (9) for contact partners and a contact carrier sleeve (5) which can be moved over the contact carrier (2) and fixed there and which has a catch device (6) for locking the connector (1) to a mating connector. The invention providing that the contact carrier (2) and the contact carrier sleeve (5) are made symmetrical to each other such that the contact carrier sleeve (5) can be moved both into a first position and also into at least one second position over the contact carrier (2) and can be fixed in the selected position.
