An electrical plug-in connector with a casing, with a lever rotatably mounted on the casing. The lever has a guideway provided for guiding a guide element of a second casing, with the guide element being guided in the guideway upon rotation of the lever and the second casing being pulled from a pre-assembly position with regard to the casing into an end position. The casing has a flexible blocking element, an insertion space for introducing the guide element into the guideway being provided, the blocking element having an actuating surface, the actuating surface in a rest position of the blocking element projecting into the insertion space. The lever has a blocking surface, the blocking element having a second blocking surface, with, in a rest position of the lever and in a rest position of the blocking element, the second blocking surface of the blocking element being associated with the blocking surface of the lever and blocking a movement of the lever from the rest position into an end position.

Electrical connector having a lever mating assist with blocking system

The invention relates to a plug-and-socket connector with a first housing with first electrical contacts and a second housing with second electrical contacts. The first housing has a lever and a blocking element. The second housing has a toothed surface on which the lever arm can be brought into contact with an actuating surface upon pivoting in order to draw the first and the second housing together into an end position in which the first and the second contacts are contacted with each other.
