Abstract

System has a socket and a plug part, each with a base frame (5) with holders (3) of essentially U-shaped cross-section for holding at least one individual module with plug contacts. Each individual module (1) has two plastic carrier plates (7) which plug together to form the module housing. Sections of metal component assemblies (11) are inserted between the plates to form the plug contacts. The plastic plates and the sections of the metal component assemblies held by the plates are of the same design on the plug and socket sides, i.e. they are hermaphroditic.
