Abstract

An electric contact arrangement for a multi-strand cable having at least one connection position for receiving a contact plug, comprises a plurality of spaced openings extending through the cable insolation and defining the connection position, and a respective plurality of plug contacts received in the openings. Each contact comprises a contact element that in engaged position thereof makes electrical contact with a cable strand intersecting the end zone of a respective opening.
