The present invention relates to a socket housing and to a plug housing for use in an electrical connector. A connection face of the socket housing has a recess, at the base of which one or more guide cones are formed, which connect the outer surface of the connection face to one or more corresponding insertion channels in which the electrical contacts of the socket housing are housed. The plug housing includes a protrusion, on which the contact pins are arranged. The protrusion is shaped in section such that it can enter the recess in the connection face of the socket housing. Since the connection pins are not formed directly on a connection face of the socket housing, but on the protrusion, even pins having a length shorter than that of conventional pins can easily reach the electrical contacts in the socket housing and can establish a reliable electrical connection.
