  • the manufacture of the electrical connection device is therefore easier and cheaper.
  • electrical connection of the connection element to the electrical circuit unit is significantly simplified.
  • connection elements are arranged side by side in the housing, the number of poles can be selected to be correct during the final assembly of the connection device, since depending on the number of poles selected, only the required number of connection elements need to be inserted into corresponding receiving spaces of the housing of the connection device.
