An electrical connector comprises a middle housing part and a upper cover part connected to the middle housing part. The upper cover part can be opened and closed. On the upper cover part, a first upper termination clamp is arranged. On the middle housing part, a first upper contact spring is arranged. The middle housing part has a first upper opening for receiving a first core of a cable. The upper cover part can be moved by linear motion in the direction of the middle housing part so that the first upper termination clamp of the first core is contacted in an electrically conductive manner and pushed against the first upper contact spring.
