  • An electrical connector which is characterized in that in order to reduce the dielectric constant ⁇ r , 8 chambers 9, 9 ', 9" are formed by means of spaced-apart projections projecting into the cavity 2, in which air or a material opposite the material of the contact carrier 1 can be made of different materials.
  • An electrical plug connector which is characterized in that the projections 8, which are approximately equally spaced in the circumferential direction, have contact surfaces 12 facing a central axis 11 of the cavity 2, against which a lateral surface of the central region 10 of the contact 3 centered in the cavity 2 rests.
  • An electrical plug connector which is characterized in that two adjacent projections 8, which separate chambers 9, 9 ', 9" running next to one another in the circumferential direction from one another and form grooves with side flanks 13 facing one another, which in cross section are on a central axis 11 coaxially extending circular arc line extending bottom surface 14 and which is closed by a section of the lateral surface of the central region 10.
  • An electrical connector which is characterized in that the contact 2 rests with its entire peripheral surface against the wall of the cavity 2, at least in the connection area 4, or closes the cavity 2 with a bead 24, so that when the contact carrier 2 is encapsulated with a casting compound Entry of the casting compound into the chambers 9 is prevented.
  • An electrical plug connector which is characterized in that at least the central region 10 of the contact 3 has sections, each with a circular cross section, which have different diameters from one another, the section running over the zone 15 forming the chambers 9, 9 ', 9" having a has a smaller diameter than a section extending over the connection area 4 or an adjacent section of the central area 10.
  • An electrical connector which is characterized in that the only two contacts 3, which are axially spaced apart by approximately 2 to 10 mm, preferably 2.5 to 4 mm, in an axial section 302, 303 adjacent to the connection area 4 have a diameter of approximately 0.4 to 3 mm, preferably 1.5 to 2 mm and the axial section 304, 306 having the chambers 9, 9 ', 9" have a diameter in the range of 0.4 to 3 mm, preferably 1.0 to 1.4 mm and/or that the ratio of the radial width of the chambers 9, 9', 9" to the diameter of the contact is in a range between a tenth and one and preferably in a range between a fifth and a quarter.
  • An electrical connector which is characterized in that the cavity 2 is in its end spatially assigned to the coupling area 7 has a reduced cross-section area 16, which forms an opening 17 for the pin to enter.
  • connection area 4 of the contacts are connected to the conductors 5 of twisted wires 6 of a cable and transmit data via the connector at speeds of more than 10 Mbit/s, 100 Mbit/s or 1000 Mbit/s become.
