Electrical plug (10) with a first and a second housing element (12, 14), which are connected to each other so that they can swivel between an open position and a closed position. A cable end seating (20) is arranged between the first and the second housing element (12, 14). The cable end seating (20) has, on each of two opposite sides, at least one seating (22) for seating a conductor element of a cable to be connected to the plug (10). On the first and second housing elements (12, 14), contact elements (19) are arranged opposite the seatings (20). When the first and second housing elements (12, 14) are in the closed position, the contact elements (19) are connected to the conductor elements in an electrically conducting manner.
