  • the electrical connection of the contact arrangement 36 and the conductor carrier 12, 14 is in this case separated from the mechanical connection of the contact arrangement 36 and the conductor carrier 12, 14, which predetermines a certain rigidity for the assembly.
  • the contact elements 32 are injection-molded with plastic by means of an injection molding process, the contact carrier 38 being produced.
  • This trained as “encapsulation” contact carrier 38 is trough-shaped in the direction of the housing-side connector part 46 and thus able to absorb (even low-viscosity) fluids such as adhesives and sealants. These form - if necessary after their curing - the seal 40 of the housing connector 34th
