A male plug connector having a contact support () with at least one contact chamber (), wherein a contact partner () is mounted in the at least one contact chamber (), wherein the contact partner () has a primary locking tab () that cooperates with its contact chamber (), wherein a locking element () that can be displaced between a prelocking position and a final locking position is mounted on and/or in the contact support (), wherein the locking element () is designed to secondarily lock the contact partner () having a secondary locking tab () when the contact partner () is located in its specified position in its contact chamber () and the locking element () has been displaced from its prelocking position into its final locking position, characterized in that, in addition to the secondary locking tab () of the contact partner (), a locking web () that cooperates with the locking element () is mounted on the contact partner ().

Sealed plug-in connector

The invention relates to a plug-in connection, comprising a plug connector having a plug connector housing () and comprising a mating plug connector that can be plugged together with the plug connector, wherein the plug connector has a superstructure () and the superstructure () accommodates a locking element () in a preliminary latching position and a final latching position, wherein the plug connector has first latching means and the locking element () has first latching means corresponding thereto and the mating plug connector has further latching means and the locking element () has further latching means corresponding thereto, wherein the locking element () is first fastened to the plug connector in the preliminary latching position by means of the first latching means corresponding to each other before the mating plug connector is inserted into the plug connector, and the further latching means corresponding to each other are actuated by means of the insertion of the mating plug connector into the plug connector, whereby the locking element () can be moved into the final latching position thereof, characterized in that the plug connector housing () and the locking element () have third latching means corresponding to each other, by means of which additional locking of the locking element () to the plug connector occurs when the locking element has been moved into the final latching position thereof.

Plug-in connection having a locking element

An electrical connector has a multiconductor plug strip and a multiconductor socket strip fittable complementarily and transversely with the plug strip. A pivot seat on one of the strips defines a pivot axis, and a lever formed with a pivot is fittable with the seat and pivotal on the one strip about the axis. An actuating formation on the lever offset from the axis and another actuating formation on the other strip are engageable with each other when the other strip is at least partially fitted to the one strip to disengage and engage the strips with each other.
