  • the second fixing element has a second slot between each two first slots.
  • the second slot is provided for receiving a rib, which is integrally formed on the first fixing element.
  • the aligned in the direction of the second fixing element rib engages in merging the fixing elements in the second slot.
  • the invention thus solves the problem of presenting a connector which realizes an extra cable fixation in a very small space.
  • the assembly of contact elements and cables is possible by a simple locking of the two fixing elements.
  • FIG. 1 shows an inventive electrical connector 1 in a perspective view.
  • the electrical connector 1 is formed from a connector housing 2, which has ten contact openings 6 in this embodiment.
  • the contact openings 6 extend along a connector axis from a mating side 4 shown on the left to a connection side 5 shown on the right through the connector housing 2.
  • the specific, illustrated embodiment has in addition to the ten contact openings 6 for signal contacts via two, arranged above openings for power contacts.
  • the contact openings 6 are provided for receiving in each case an electrical contact element 3.
  • the electrical contact elements 3 can be inserted from the connection side 5 into the contact openings 6 and latched therein. Due to the latching in the contact openings 6, the electrical contact elements 3 are mechanically fixed in the connector housing 2.
  • a cable 20 is provided in each case.
  • the cables 20 are fastened to the electrical contact elements 3 by means of a crimping region.
  • a cable fixing is additionally provided on the connection side 5 of the connector 1.
