Claim 12:
13. A method for assembling an electrical connector assembly comprised of the following method steps:
providing an electrical connector;
providing an electrical cable having a preassembled cable end for connection to the electrical connector, wherein at least one electrical conductor of the electrical cable is exposed at the cable end; and
feeding the cable end into the electrical connector along a feed direction in order to connect the electrical conductor to a contact element of the electrical connector, wherein the electrical conductor, before it contacts the contact element of the electrical connector, is treated by a cleaning tool integrated in the electrical connector, the cleaning tool having a cleaning element comprised of a sealing lip or a shaped blade defining a through-hole in order to remove or at least retain particles, residues of a sheathing and/or contaminants adhering to the electrical conductor as the electrical conductor is passed through the through-hole with an accurate fit;
wherein the electrical conductor of the cable is manually freed from a sheathing before feeding the cable end into the electrical connector.
