A plug for a tool changing system for electrically connecting a tool to a robot hand, including a plug housing to be fastened on a robot arm or on a tool. The plug housing includes a contact chamber and an accommodating chamber arranged substantially above the contact chamber. A connection module having electrically conductive elements is connected to a first peripheral device. The connection module can be arranged in the contact chamber, and a wear module having electrically conductive elements to be connected to a second peripheral device. The connection module and the wear module are arranged in the accommodating chamber. The electrically conductive elements of the connection module can be connected to the electrically conductive elements of the wear module; and the accommodating chamber is arranged in a frame element which is configured separately from the plug housing. The frame element can be connected to the plug housing.
