1. A plug connector for flexible conductor films having film-insulated conductors, having a plug connector housing, in which at least one plug contact element is arranged, and having a coupling region, in which blades electrically conductively connected to the at least one plug contact element penetrate and fix at least one film-insulating conductor by producing an electrical contact, wherein the plug connector housing comprises two housing parts that can be fitted together, whose first housing part supports the blades and the at least one plug contact element electrically conductively connected to them, and whose second housing part receives and supports the flexible conductor film and has at least one blade receiver adjusted to the blades, whose boundary surfaces are formed in such a way that at least one part of the blades is bent when fitting the two housing parts together in the direction of the film-insulated conductor, wherein at least one part of the blades has a hollow space, which enables an elastic deformation of the blade edges, and wherein the blades which have a hollow space, are each arranged between the blades which are bent when fitting the two housing parts together in the direction of the film-insulated conductors.
