1. A plug connector insert having a contact carrier device and a contact unit inserted therein with a conductor bar, a clamping spring and a plug contact, wherein the contact carrier device has a contact carrier with a cable connection side, a connection region on the cable connection side, and at least one contact chamber that is open on the cable connection side for accommodating a contact unit, and furthermore has a retaining plate configured for connection and fitting on the contact carrier on the cable connection side, wherein the retaining plate has, for each contact chamber, an actuation opening and a connection opening adjacent thereto for inserting an electrical conductor into the contact chamber, wherein the contact carrier device has, at each actuation opening, an actuator, which is arranged or configured to be arranged at least partially in the corresponding contact chamber for disconnecting the electrical conductor from the contact unit, wherein the conductor bar with the clamping spring is arranged in the contact chamber, and wherein the contact carrier has, on the plug-in side of the connection region, a plug-in region, in which there is, for each contact chamber, a through-opening that is connected thereto and in which the respective plug contact is accommodated, wherein
the retaining plate and the at least one actuator have a common assembly catch for preassembling the actuator on the retaining plate.
