Abstract
A socket housing comprises an inner part and an outer part, the inner part being formed to receive at least one electrically conductive contact element, and a wall of the outer part defining a cavity. Therein, the inner part and the outer part are arranged adjoining one another. An external diameter of the inner part is equal to or less than an internal diameter of the outer part. The socket housing is formed in one piece, the inner part and the outer part being connected via a crosspiece formed as a predetermined breaking point.

An electrical connector socket housing, comprising:
- an inner part having a contact receptacle extending between a front mating face and a rear face, the contact receptacle being formed to receive at least one electrically conductive contact element, and
- an outer part, a wall of the outer part defining a cavity, the outer part and the inner part being arranged adjoining one another, an external diameter of the inner part being equal to or less than an internal diameter of the outer part, the socket housing being formed in one piece, the inner part and the outer part being connected via a crosspiece formed as a predetermined breaking point.
