A socket for connecting a trailer plug connector in the outside area of a towing vehicle has a socket housing, a first plug receiving opening, a cover, a harness connector, and a second plug receiving opening. Electrical socket contacts are supported in the socket housing extending into the first receiving opening for mating with a trailer plug connector and into the second plug receiving opening for mating with a harness connector. The harness connector has an outer perimeter lamella seal. The harness connector has terminal openings. A contact terminal connects with one single wire and has a single wire seal surrounding the single wire. The single wire seal abuts and seals an inside wall of the terminal opening. The socket housing includes a drainage opening from the inside of the first plug receiving opening to the outside of the socket housing. A shielding plate with a channel is located below the drainage opening to block water flow from outside into the plug receiving opening.

Socket for connecting a trailer plug connector

Socket for an electrical plug-and-socket connection comprising a socket housing having a plug-in opening for mating with a plug, a cover for closing the plug-in opening and contacts. A contact insert with receptacle contacts connected with the contacts by inserting the insert on connection ends of the contacts, the receptacle contacts being connectable with a wire each. A backshell being held in the housing and having a flexible latch for fixing in a recess of the socket housing as a snap fit. A locking slider captively attached at the backshell and comprising two arms insertable into respective slits in said housing and the backshell, the slits matching each other when the contact insert in the backshell is inserted on the connection ends of the contacts such that the arms of the locking slider inserted into the matching slits secure the backshell with the contact insert.

Socket for an electrical plug-and-socket connection

Plug for an electrical plug-and-socket connection having embedded plug contacts being connected with wires leading to the electrical circuit of a vehicle. Plug openings of the plug body in front of the plug contacts for inserting contacts of a socket into the plug openings thereby providing electrical connection between the socket contacts and the plug contacts. A dissolving arm having a lift part and a handling part, the arm being rotatably at a bearing such that upon pressing down the handling part of the dissolving arm in the direction towards the plug body, the lift part of the dissolving arm lifted away from the plug body for lifting a cover of the socket overlying on the plug body and the lift part of the dissolving arm when the plug is being inserted into the socket.
