1. A plug connector assembly (1) for connection to a second mating plug connector (19) that has a mating contact surface (26), the plug connector assembly comprising:
a plurality of electrical conductors (3), and wherein each of the plurality of electrical conductors (3) has an axial end region (32) and a contact surface (27), and wherein
the contact surface (27), has a directional component in a first direction orthogonal to a longitudinal axial direction of the respective one of the plurality of electrical conductors (3), and the respective contact surface (27) additionally has a directional component in a second direction orthogonal to the longitudinal axial direction of the respective one of the plurality of electrical conductors (3) and the second direction is orthogonal to the first orthogonal direction, and wherein
the contact surface (27) being capable to electrically contact the mating contact surface (26) of the second mating plug connector (19); and
a plug connector (2), the plug connector (2) having
a plug connector housing (4) that has an inside, and the axial end regions (32) of the plurality of electrical conductors (3) are fastened to the plug connector housing (4) therein, and
at least one spring element (15) is carried inside the plug connector housing (4) for each of the plurality of electrical conductors (3), and the at least one spring element (15) is configured to press the respective one of the plurality of electrical conductors (3), and the associated respective contact surface (27) against the mating contact surface (26) in the first orthogonal direction, and
inside the plug connector housing (4) is a fastening element (11) which when connected to a fastening element (28) of the mating plug connector (19) is configured to press the contact surface (27) of each of the plurality of electrical conductors (3) in the second orthogonal direction.
