  • the insulation piercing contacts 9 protrude from the base plate 8 toward the flat cable 2 side with their tips 10, 11.
  • the insulation-piercing contacts together with the direct plug contacts 14 are respectively inserted in receiving chambers 15 in the base plate 8, which are designed so open to the side of the flat cable 2, that the insulation-penetrating contacts 9 in the assembly of this page in the Receiving chambers 15 are used.
  • the receiving chambers 15 may be provided with further openings which are configured such that branch conductor 17th (please refer Fig. 2 ; possibly also combined as a flat cable) and / or actuating tools (opening 16, Fig. 5 )) can be inserted to actuate the branch contacts in the receiving chambers 15, wherein the openings 16 are further designed so that the insulation piercing contacts (in particular piercing contacts) 9 can not be made from the on take-combs 15.
  • clearances 33 are provided here on the side facing away from the flat cable 2 side of the base plate.
  • the receiving chambers 15 and the insulation-penetrating contacts for the different conductors of the flat cable 2 to be contacted may be arranged slightly offset in the direction of the longitudinal extent of the flat cable 2, so that the individual IDC contacts may also be slightly wider than the distance of the conductors of the flat cable 2.
  • eleven piercing contacts 9 are accommodated in a small space here.
  • the receiving chambers 15 are covered by a cross-holding plate 18, which first latching means (here latching webs 19) may be latched with corresponding second latching means (here latching recesses 20) of the base plate.
  • first latching means here latching webs 19
  • second latching means here latching recesses 20
  • the holding plate 18 is provided with openings, in particular slots 21, from which protrude the insulation piercing contacts in the direction of the flat cable 2 to be inserted.
  • an optional receiving plate 22 for receiving the flat cable can be placed, which preferably has a contouring 23, which corresponds to the contour of the shell of the flat cable to be contacted so that it is well aligned and centered in the contouring 23, which is safe Contacting is an advantage.
  • the receiving plate 22 has here first locking means (here again latching webs 24), which allows a latching to corresponding latching means (here again latching recesses 25) of the base plate 8.
  • the receiving plate 22 is in turn provided with openings, in particular slots 26, from which protrude the insulation-penetrating contacts 9 in the contacted state.
  • the receiving plate 22 In the non-contacted state, the receiving plate 22 is still so high on the base plate 8, that the insulation piercing contacts 9 do not protrude from it, so that the flat cable can be placed.
  • the receiving plate 22 is displaceable perpendicular to the flat cable to the base plate 8 for contacting.
  • the holding plate 18 and the receiving plate 22 could also be integrally formed (not shown here).
  • the actual contacting of the flat cable is then carried out with the aid of the lid portion 7, which also serves as an actuating unit and which is guided displaceably relative to the base portion.
  • This actuating unit consists of a support plate 27 which can be placed on the base section receiving the flat cable 2 and a sliding cover 28.
