Abstract
A socket for an electrical plug and socket connection is described, comprising a socket housing with a plug-in opening for mounting a plug. The plug-in opening includes a contact support component for mating with a plug which provides contacts extending into the plug-in opening. The contacts are preferably flat contacts with an elastically bent contact surface. Also preferably, the contacts are cast in an injection molding process into the contact support insert. The contact support insert is then incorporated into the plug-in opening of the socket housing, and a seal is provided between the two components.

A socket for an electrical plug-in socket connection, comprising:
- (a) a socket housing;
- (b) a plug-in opening for mating with a plug:
- (c) a contact support insert positioned in the socket housing;
- and
- (d) contacts extending into the plug-in opening, which are fixed in the contact support insert only by the material of the contact support insert,
- wherein the contact support insert having the fixed contacts is produced using an injection molding process, and the contact support insert is positioned into the socket housing such that the plug-in opening is sealed, and wherein a seal is provided in the socket housing which forms a sealing surface positioned in the plug-in opening to cooperate with the plug, and which can be moved towards the plug.
