1. A module connector for electrically connecting a pair of electric modules, comprising:
a pair of contact assemblies, each disposed, respectively, on one of the pair of electric modules and spaced from one another and the contact assemblies each having a fastening element having diameter and a first end external to the module connector and a second end connected to the electric modules;
a rigid conductor assembly electrically connecting the contact assemblies along a longitudinal axis and, with the contact assemblies, forming an electrical connection between the electric modules, the conductor having two apertures at least one of the apertures being an oblong aperture having a width slightly larger than the diameter of the fastening element, wherein one of the contact assemblies is fastened to the conductor assembly in a manner displaceable relative to the conductor assembly in a single planar direction of displacement along the longitudinal axis directed towards and/or away from the other of the contact assemblies; and
a housing formed of an electrically insulating material, and having an upper section comprising a touch protection surrounding the fastening element that extends through the upper section and a lower section enclosing the fastening element, thereby sealing the fastening element and the electric module from an external environment, wherein the contact assemblies and the conductor assembly are accommodated in the housing.
