Abstract: An electric plug connector has two separate contact members. Each of the contact members has a first pair of parallel elongate webs spaced from each other and a second pair of elongate webs that extend in the same plane perpendicular to the first pair of webs. The first and second contact members are assembled so that the first pairs of webs of both contact members are aligned to define a first flat plug-in channel and the second pairs of webs of both contact members are spaced from each other and face each other to define a second flat plug-in channel perpendicular to and crossing the first plug-in channel. The two separate contact members are held in an assembled condition by a holding member tightly surrounding the contact members.
