An electrical connector assembly having a first electrical connector or header including a base and a shroud extending therefrom. The shroud defines a first opening arranged opposite the base and a second lateral opening defined between two ends thereof. A second or mating connector of the assembly includes a mating end received within the first opening of the shroud in an insertion direction. A body of the second electrical connector is received within the second lateral opening of the shroud and includes a pair of covers or hoods with channels for receiving and mechanically joining the two ends of the shroud.

The invention relates to an electrical plug connector, with a housing (1) with at least one insertion opening (2) for a complementary plug connector and a contact carrier (3), arranged in the housing (1), for the electrical contacts accessible through the insertion opening(s). Two concentrically arranged housing parts (5, 6) are connected to one another via a base (8) on the end opposite the at least one insertion opening (2). Between the housing parts (5, 6), an annular intermediate space (7) is formed as an annular receiving opening for the plug extension of a complementary plug connector. A receiving space (9) for the contact carrier (3) is provided inside the internal housing part (6).

In a connecting method, when a flexible conductor is exposed on a top surface of a connection object, a contact is disposed on the top surface of the connection object at the predetermined position in a state where the connection object is kept as it is, and when the flexible conductor is exposed on a bottom surface of the connection object, the contact is disposed on the top surface of the connection object at the predetermined position in a state where a part of the connection object where the connection part is disposed is inverted such that the connection part faces a top surface side of the connection object while being retained at the predetermined position.

On a round plug, outwardly directed detent hooks are arranged between a plug-in region and a contact carrier portion of an insulating body or a base portion of the round plug housing. A mating connector has, on a plug-in side of a threaded portion, an inwardly directed circumferential or interrupted detent lug. The detent arms do not need to reach through the threaded portion. The detent arms can therefore be made particularly strong, and the inner thread can be continuous. The retaining forces of the locking/screwing are thus very high, and the detent arms for example can be integrally molded on a plastic insulation body, and thus be formed in one piece therewith, for simplified production. Operation and manufacture are significantly simplified.
