Abstract
An electrical connector includes an electrically insulating connector housing, at least one electromagnetically shielded contact device including an electromagnetic shield, at least one clamping screw, and an electrically insulating protective cap. The at least one clamping screw mechanically secures an electrical contact of the contact device. The electrically insulating protective cap is provided at or on the connector housing, and electromagnetically closes at least one shielding hole defined in the electromagnetic shield of the contact device.
