  • the guide element is in particular provided separately and at a distance from the shield plate, so that guiding and positioning during the insertion movement is independent of the position and shape of the shield plate.
  • the guide element is a jump or a mandrel, wherein the projection or mandrel for positive engagement in a complementarily shaped guide element of the further connector is set up, such as a groove, a recess or the like.
  • the guide element is a groove or a recess, the groove or recess being set up for the positive reception of a complementarily shaped guide element of the further plug connector, such as a projection, a mandrel or the like.
  • Guide element is an integral part of an outer wall of the housing, wherein the outer wall surrounds the receptacle circumferentially.
  • the receptacle can be formed, for example, on a web area of the housing bordered by the outer wall, in order to hold contacts there in a positive and / or non-positive manner.
  • Such contacts can have an electrically conductive material or best of an electrically conductive material hen to form an electrically conductive connection to another in this way shaping contact of the further plug connector.
  • the housing can have an electrically insulating material or best hen of an electrically insulating material.
  • the guide elements form a positioning which specifies a straight insertion movement of the plug connectors to be connected.
  • a first guide element is formed on a first wall section of the housing and a second guide element is formed on a second wall section of the housing, the first wall section and the second wall section being spaced apart from one another and arranged on opposite sides of the housing.
  • the housing can have a cuboid basic shape, the guide elements being arranged on opposite sides of the housing, so that tilting when inserting a further plug connector into the connector can be prevented by the two-sided guide.
  • a mechanical coding is formed with the aid of the guide elements, which specifies an orientation when a further connector is inserted into the connector, so that incorrect assembly can be avoided.
  • the mechanical coding can be formed by an asymmetrical arrangement of the guide elements or by a different dimensioning of the guide elements.
  • the guide element is inserted into the plug connector along an insertion direction
