Connector

A connector (1) comprising

• an insulating body (12), wherein said insulating body (12) comprises a contact body (14) and a slider (15),
• contact elements (20, 21) mounted in said insulating body,
• wherein said contact elements are adapted to be laterally inserted into said contact body (14), and
• wherein said slider (15) is received on said contact body (14) and fixedly mounts said contact elements in said contact body.

A rectangular connector (1) comprising

• a metal housing (11),
• an insulating body (12) adapted for insertion into said metal housing (11),
• contact elements (20, 21) supported in said insulating body (12), said insulating body (12) comprising a contact body (14) and a slideable member (slider) (15) adapted to be coupled with said insulating body,
• wherein a PE-contact element is adapted to be inserted in a lateral direction into a PE-contact chamber (37),
• said PE-contact element (21) being fixedly mounted in said insulating body after insertion of the insulating body into said housing (11) by means of support means (27) provided at said housing,
• and wherein said PE-contact element is securely contacted by contact means (43) provided at said housing (11).

The connector (1) comprising

• a metal housing (11),
• an insulating body (12) adapted to be inserted into said metal housing (11),
• contact elements (20, 21) arranged in said insulating body (12) comprising a contact body (14) and a slider (15) adapted to be coupled to said contact body (14),
• wherein said contact body (14) as well as a PE-contact element are preferably insertable in a lateral direction,
• wherein said PE-contact element is safely held within said insulating body after insertion of the insulating body into said housing (11) by means of support means provided at said housing (11).

A connector part comprising:

• an elongate metal housing defining an interior chamber and having a first or rearward open end and spaced therefrom a second or forward open end,
• an elongate insulating body (12)
• adapted to be inserted into said elongate metal housing from said first end by moving said insulating body (12) towards said second end, said insulating body comprising:
• an elongate contact body (14) and
• an elongate slide member (15)
• said contact body (14) (contact insert) and said slide member (15) being adapted to be mounted together
• said contact body having formed on a first side first elongate contact chambers.
• first and second elongate contact elements
• adapted to be inserted into said first contact chambers,
• said slide member being provided with contact chambers for said first contact elements so as to fixedly mount said first contact
• elements in said elongate contact chambers provided by the contact body and the elongate contact chambers provided by said slide member.
