The contact positioner (11) receives the contact spring (12) for connection to an electrical conductor (9). The locking element (5) has a guide face (10) with a locking side (13) that maintains the contact (2) in a housing (1). A cover (19) covers the locking side (13) to form a closed surface. A guide plate (28) is integrally formed with cover (19) and covers the lateral side of the guide face (10) to form a closed surface. The cover (19) and guide plate (28) enlarge a seal opening (18) of the housing (1) to prevent the seal (4) from damage by the locking element (5) when the contact (2) is inserted and withdrawn from the housing (1). <IMAGE>
