In a vehicle door with a door body (10) and a support panel (20) for electrical components, a plug-in connector (22) is provided for electrically connecting said components to an external electrical line. The support panel (20) can be inserted into or can be mounted to cover an opening (18) of the door body (10) in a way which allows that the plug-in connector (22) is accessible from an outer surface of the door body (10) for a plug-in connection to said external electrical line. In order to simplify assembling of the door body and the support panel, the plug-in connector (22) is fastened permanently to the support panel (20) on its inward-facing side and its insertion port or mouth (22A) is oriented toward the outer side of the door body and, therein, toward an entry opening (24) for the plug-in end of the external electrical line.
