The invention relates to a clamping connector for at least two aligned flexible ribbon cables, said connector including a base body, spring elements for pressing together the surfaces to be brought into contact, and a counter body. The base body and the counter body can be fixed to each other in a pre-locking position and a final locking position. The respective skinned partial regions of at least two flexible ribbon cables are pressed against each other in order to bring the same into contact. The sides of the base body and the counter body, facing the flexible ribbon cables, are provided with complementary recesses or projections by which means the flexible ribbon cables can be guided to form a cable grip.
