Abstract
A connector for connection to a mating connector includes a connector housing having a contact chamber configured to accommodate a contact assembly extending from a contact side toward a mating side, and a secondary retention element having two mounting arms and a securing element disposed therebetween. The connector housing has an access opening. The secondary retention element is movable between a pre-latched and a final latched position. One of the mounting arms has a first latching unit which, in the final latched position, is connected to a first mating latching unit disposed on the connector housing. One of the mounting arms has a locking element extending away parallel to a mating axis, which in the pre-latched position, blocks connection to the mating connector. In the final latched position, the securing element extends through the access opening into the contact chamber and locks the contact assembly in place.
