1. A connector device comprising:
a body including a first channel for receiving a cable, and a second channel perpendicular to the first channel for receiving an external conductor, the first channel opening into the second channel; and
a connector device comprising:
a pin element;
a socket element;
wherein the pin element includes:
a fixing part for fixing the cable to the pin element; and
a pinning part;
wherein the socket element includes:
a receiving part configured for receiving the pinning part of the pin element of the cable lug device;
a palm part for electrically connecting the socket element to the external conductor,
wherein the receiving part of the socket element includes at least one first receiving receptacle;
at least one elastic element held between at least one elastic element receptacle of the pin element and a first receiving receptacle of the socket element, the at least one elastic element electrically connecting the pin element to the socket element of the connector device and/or the at least one elastic element for holding the pin element in the socket element of the connector device,
wherein the at least one first receiving receptacle is placed and adapted to hold the at least one elastic element together with the at least one elastic element receptacle of the pin element; and
a fastening device for fastening the pin element to the socket element, wherein the fastening device is held in a second receiving receptacle of the socket element; and wherein the fastening device is a fastening device with shear off function, wherein the pin element exits the socket element upon a predefined threshold value of force acting on the pin element and/or the socket element,
wherein the pin element and the receiving part are arranged in the first channel, and the palm part extends from the first channel into the second channel.
