  • an electrical contact can be made via the connector.
  • Heavy connectors are characterized by the fact that they can withstand high loads and are designed to be stable and resistant.
  • the housing is designed for example of plastic. This allows a simple, secure attachment of the second housing part on the first housing part, for example by screwing the second housing part on the first housing part, wherein in training of the housing Plastic, the housing parts can be clamped together so that they are securely held together in the connected state, in particular also rotationally fixed to each other.
  • plastic housings generally have lower thermal and mechanical resistance to housings made of metal such as aluminum. Depending on the use of such housings, it may thus be desirable to manufacture the housing from metal, in particular aluminum. In this case, however, it must be ensured that in the connection of the housing parts with each other, the housing parts are held together so firmly that they are not easily, in any case not unintentionally, detachable from each other.
  • Object of the present invention is to provide a housing for a connector, which allows a secure and reliable connection of the housing parts together, in particular a rotationally secure connection, so that the housing parts are securely and reliably held together in the connected position.
