A housing includes a first partial housing and a second partial housing which complement each other in an assembled state to form the housing. The first partial housing has a first conductor receptacle that receives a first electrical conductor and a first connection assembly for connecting the first electrical conductor to a first contact element, and is provided with a passage opening for a second contact element. The second partial housing has a second conductor receptacle that receives a second electrical conductor and a second connection assembly for connecting the second electrical conductor to the second contact element. The second partial housing is configured to abut against the first partial housing in the region of the passage opening. In the assembled state, the second conductor receptacle forms a common cavity with the passage opening.
