Abstract
An electrical plug device having two plug connector parts is designed in such a way that the two plug connector parts can be plugged together or separated by means of a slide, which can be displaced transversely with respect to the insertion direction, even under confined space conditions. To this end, guide openings are provided on one of the two plug connector parts, which guide openings extend through the plug connector part and serve the purpose of being able to assemble the U-shaped slide on both sides. Control elements or control means are fitted to the other of the two plug connector parts symmetrically with respect to its longitudinal extent, with the result that the engagement of assignable means or control elements which are fitted to the slide takes place with the same effect independently of the assembly direction of the slide. The plug device is preferably used in motor vehicles with confined installation conditions.
