1. A multipole electrical plug-in connector comprising:
a plug-in connector housing having a housing base that extends perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the plug-in connector housing, the housing base having insertion openings;
a mounting block attached to the plug-in connector housing, the mounting block includes (i) a plate having insertion openings and (ii) a transverse slider having elongated holes, the transverse slider is situated at the plate, and the transverse slider, independent of the plug-in connector housing, is fastened to the plate and is movable perpendicularly with respect to the plate insertion openings;
a plurality of contact elements respectively inserted through the housing base insertion openings, each contact element having, in succession along a longitudinal direction of the contact element, a contact portion that is connectable to a mating plug-in connector, a press-in portion, with a fir tree profile, that is pressed into the housing base insertion opening in which the contact element is inserted through, and a connection portion for connecting an electrical connection line;
wherein each contact element further has a retaining portion between the press-in portion and the connection portion, the retaining portion including a circumferentially narrow section delimited on both sides by a pair of circumferentially wider collars; and
the retaining portions of the contact elements are inter-lockingly fastened in the mounting block.
