ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR FOR A MULTI-WIRE ELECTRICAL CABLE

An electrical connector for a multi-wire electrical cable includes at least two cable-side electrical contact elements including associated electrical terminals to each of which is to be connected a wire of the electrical cable. At least two output-side electrical contact elements, from each of which projects an electrical connector element by which an electrical connection can be established to a mating connector. An electrically conductive carrier body is disposed between the cable-side contact elements and the output-side contact elements. The electrically conductive carrier body carries an electrical device by which the cable-side contact elements and the output-side contact elements are electrically connected to each other. The electrical device is supported by the carrier body without any of the cable-side contact elements or the output-side contact elements being in electrical contact with the carrier body through the electrical device.
