1. An awning device comprising a roll-up awning, an electric motor for rotating the roll-up awning, which motor is electrically supplied by one or more wires,
a supply cable comprising one or more wires,
an electrical coupling for coupling the wires of the supply cable to the wires of the motor, which coupling comprises a male and female component which can be coupled together electrically and mechanically,
wherein the male component comprises at least one contact pin and the female component comprises at least one contact socket,
wherein the male component comprises a first printed circuit board (PCB) on which the least one contact pin is electrically coupled to at least one printed conductor on the first printed circuit board, which at least one printed conductor is electrically coupled to at least one wire of a first of the motor and supply cable,
wherein the female component comprises a second printed circuit board (PCB) on which the at least one contact socket is electrically coupled to at least one printed conductor on the second printed circuit board, which at least one printed conductor is electrically coupled to at least one wire of the other of the motor and the supply cable,
wherein the male component comprises a housing which encloses the first printed circuit board,
wherein the female component comprises a housing which encloses the second printed circuit board,
wherein the male and female components are suitable for coupling of both housings, in a coupling direction, and comprise steering elements which steer the movement of the male and female components during coupling of the male and female components in the coupling direction.
