Abstract

The base section (26a-c) and head (25) of the socket are constructed as separate components. The plastic push-in section (30) for the head is integral with its base. Head and base section snap- and interlock together. Guide surfaces for the conductor terminations, extend from base walls to the insertion opening of the push-in section.
