Contact assembly for a connector housing, connector housing as well as connector assembly and modular connector set with such a connector housing

A connector assembly, comprising:

• a connector housing having:
• a contact assembly including:
• an adapter element having a sleeve with a lead-through opening extending an axial direction of the sleeve and with a threaded bore extending perpendicularly to the lead-through opening through the sleeve wherein a latching flap obliquely protrudes outwards from the sleeve of the adapter element;
• and
• a contact element adapted to be inserted into the lead-through opening and latched to the sleeve, wherein the adapter element is received within the lead-through chambers the connector housing and the contact element is inserted into the lead-through opening of the adapter element received within the connector housing;
• and
• a back shell coupled to the connector housing.

A modular connector set comprising:

• a first connector assembly and a second connector assembly, each of the first and second connector assemblies including:
• a connector housing having a contact assembly including an adapter element having a sleeve with a lead-through opening extending in an axial direction of the sleeve and with a threaded bore extending perpendicularly to the lead-through opening through the sleeve;
• and
• a contact element adapted to be inserted into the lead-through opening and latched to the sleeve, the adapter element is received within the connector housing and the contact element is inserted into the lead-through opening of the adapter element received within the connector housing;
• and
• at least one male contact and at least one female contact configured to be mated to the at least one male contact, the at least one male contact and the at least one female contact being configured to be selectively inserted into the lead-through opening of the adapter element received within any one of the connector housing of the first connector assembly and the connector housing of the second connector assembly.
