An inverter with a connector element has a fixture with a connector element arranged thereupon and an electronic part which can be plugged into the connector element, together forming the inverter. The connector element is formed by a connector block for connecting at least one solar module, and at least one connector for the electronic part, wherein corresponding connector sockets for pluggably connecting to the connectors are arranged on the electronic part, and the inverter is formed by a DC breaking element. To allow solar modules to be separated easily, the connector element is composed of an assembly wherein the connector block and the connector are arranged at least on one side and a DC breaking element is arranged between them. An actuation element of the DC breaking element is arranged outside the assembly to mechanically or electronically activate and deactivate the connection between the connector block and the connector.
