Abstract (en)
The disclosure relates to Electrical connector for electrically connecting at least two electrical cables (18) without using tools, comprising a housing (1); at least two insertion channels (2), arranged in the housing (1) on a first side, for inserting bare metal ends (19) of the electrical cables (18) into the housing (1) along an insertion direction (E); a metal clamping unit (17), arranged in the housing (1), for clamping the bare metal ends (19) inserted into the insertion channels (2) and for electrically coupling the metal ends (19) to one another; and a test channel (3), arranged in the housing (1) on a second side, for inserting a test finger; a housing cover (4) made of a pliable plastic, which is cast with the housing (1); wherein the housing cover (4) is formed in one piece with a cover strip (5), which extends from a first end (6) of the cover strip (5) to a second end (7) of the cover strip (5), wherein: the cover strip (5) merges into the housing cover (4) at the first end (6), and between the first end (6) and the second end (7) the cover strip (5) has a cap unit (8) for plugging into the insertion channels (2) and a stopper unit (9) for plugging into the test channel (3), and in an end region comprising the second end (7) the cover strip (5) has a hook unit (10) for hooking the cover strip (5) onto an associated hook counterpart (16) of the electrical connector in a sealing position, wherein in the sealing position the cap unit (8) is plugged into the insertion channels (2) and the stopper unit (9) is plugged into the test channel (3) in order to reliably seal electrical connections between two or more electrical cables (18) with little effort, even in accordance with high IP protection classes, and especially against water or moisture.
