Abstract
A coupling connector has a retainer for locking a coupling plug in the connector body. The coupling connector comprises a verifier for indicating a connection state between the coupling connector and the coupling plug. The verifier is movably mounted on the connector body, and indicates the connection state via its position relative to the connector body. The coupling connector comprises a chip, an antenna as well as a switch. The switch has at least one switching contact as well as a closer, wherein the chip, the at least one switching contact and the closer are components of a switching circuit. The coupling connector is designed in such a way that the state of the switching circuit is changed during an insertion of the coupling plug into the connector body. The chip and/or the antenna and/or the at least one switching contact is/are arranged on the verifier and/or on the retainer.
