The present invention relates to a contact assembly (1) for a connector housing (4), comprising an adapter element (10) and a contact element (12), wherein the adapter element (10) has a sleeve (14) with a lead-through opening (16) extending in an axial direction (18) of the sleeve (14) and with a threaded bore (20) extending perpendicularly to the lead-through opening (16) through the sleeve (14), and wherein the contact element (12) is adapted to be inserted into the lead- through opening (16) and latched to the sleeve (14). The contact element (12) may exhibit varying types of a cable connection section (60, 60) and/or a contact section (36, 38). The adapter element (10) may be received within the connector housing (4) and may accept the contact element (12) regardless of the type of cable connection section (60, 60) and/or contact section (36, 38). Thus, inter alia the manufacturability of the connector housing (4) utilizing such a contact assembly (1) may be improved. Further, the present invention relates to a connector assembly (6) with such a connector housing (4). Further, the present invention relates to a modular connector set (8) with two such connector assemblies (6).

A cable tie system for securing wire bundles (52) in channels (55) of a cable raceway (50). Each wire bundle is secured between upstanding elongate ties (16) of a tie member (10) secured in a channel by a securing member (14) extending through an aperture (56) in the channel floor. The ties (16) pass through aligned slots in a retainer (20) which can be pushed down to hold the wire bundle in place. Within the retainers (20) are resilient engaging members which engage corresponding formations inwardly facing surfaces of the tie strips which can be pulled out of such engagement to allow removal of the retainer. The cable tie systems are positioned at spaced intervals along the cable raceway.
