The invention relates to a lockable plug-type connector, such as for producing an electrical and mechanical connection between an igniter and an electrical control device of an occupant restraining system in motor vehicles. The lockable plug-type connector comprises a connector and a socket for lockably receiving a connecting device located on the connector. The connector substantially comprises a housing with a connecting device and a locking device, a housing cover and a partial covering with locking device. The locking devices provide mechanical locking of the connector in the socket. The locking device of the partial covering are formed by at least one locking tongue which is arranged on the edge of at least one recess on the partial covering.

Lockable plug-type connector

A plug, in particular an igniter plug, which has a damping element on a contact element of the plug is described. In order to assemble it the damping element has a passageway, which is substantially matched to the crimp region of the contact element in cross-section. As a result of the arrangement of the damping element on the contact element, a small construction of the plug is made possible. Preferably, the crimp regions are arranged outside the plug housing, so that it is possible to install the cables later without having to open the plug housing.
