An electrical connector includes a connector housing (2) and a printed circuit board (3) with two sets of contact elements (7, 8). The first set of contact elements (7) is located on the front face of the printed circuit board (3) and protrudes into an opening in the plug connector housing (2). The second set of contact elements (8) is located on the rear face of the printed circuit board (3). The contact elements of the second set (8) are configured to form insulation-displacement contacts (8). The plug connector (1) also includes a cable manager (5) which has a continuous opening (13) and is configured on the front face (16) with guides (19) for cores or wires which are intended to make contact with the insulation-displacement contacts (8). The guides (19) in the region of the insulation-displacement contacts (8) are configured with recessed receiving elements or holders (20) for the insulation-displacement contacts (8), and the cable manager (5) can be latched to the plug connector housing (2).
An electrical plug connector, comprising a plug connector housing, a printed circuit board with two sets of contact elements, with the first set of contact elements being arranged on the front face of the printed circuit board and projecting into an opening in the plug connector housing, and the second set of contact elements being arranged on the rear face of the printed circuit board, and the contact elements of the second set being in the form of insulation-displacement contacts,
The electrical plug connector as claimed in one of the preceding claims, wherein the rear face (15) of the cable manager (5) is formed with an incline (18) on one side.
The electrical plug connector as claimed in one of the preceding claims, wherein a hold-down device (4) is arranged between the cable manager (5) and the printed circuit board (3) and allows the printed circuit board (3) to be fixed with respect to the plug connector housing (2).
The electrical plug connector as claimed in one of the preceding claims, wherein the guides (19) of the cable manager (5) are arranged at offset levels with respect to one another.
The electrical plug connector as claimed in one of the preceding claims, characterized in that a cable grip is arranged above the cable manager (5).
The electrical plug connector as claimed in one of the preceding claims, wherein the electrical plug connector (1) is in the form of a socket for an RJ-45 plug.
A cable manager for an electrical plug connector,
