  • Patent number: 12021331
    Abstract: A plug system includes a plug connector part, which has a plug connector housing and a multiplicity of connection terminals, which are arranged on the plug connector housing and which each have a spring element forming a clamping leg, and a plug device, which has a multiplicity of electrically conductive plug elements. The plug elements of the plug device for electrically contacting the connection terminals of the plug connector part can each be connected in a plugging manner along a plugging direction to one of the connection terminals of the plug connector part and, in a connected position, are mechanically operatively connected to the clamping leg of the spring element of the respective connection terminal. At least some of the plug elements have a different height measured along the plugging direction.
