Contact assembly for a combined power and data connector

The invention relates to a socket assembly (115) for a socket (117) that can be used with a combined power and data connector (3). In order to provide a combined power and data connector that allows combined transport of electrical power and data signals, which is compact, solid and may be produced cost-effectively, a connector face (5) of the contact assembly (1) comprises a data section (13) and a second section (10), wherein the data section (13) comprises a plurality of data contacts (43), which are separated from the second section (10) by at least one separating wall assembly (29), the data contacts (43) being arranged on a carrier unit (33) that is mounted on a data section side (31) of the separating wall assembly (29), that the carrier unit (33) further carries electric power and wherein the at least one separating wall assembly (29) comprises a fixation sub-assembly (53) that fixates the carrier unit (33) onto the separating wall assembly (29). The socket assembly according to the invention comprises a socket housing (119), a data section (127) and a second section (124), wherein the second section (124) comprises at least two contact elements (120), wherein the data section (127) comprises a plurality data contacts (123), the contact elements (120) and the data contacts (123) being situated in a shared open volume (135), wherein the socket housing (119) comprises a plurality of pockets (161), and wherein the plurality of data contacts (123) comprises U-shaped fixation members (153) with two parallel sections (155), the fixation members (153) being inserted into the pockets (161).
