Abstract
The invention relates to an electrical connector which has a simple structure and can be joined together even blind with the complementary connector. The joining together can also be carried out with one hand. The electrical connector has an actuating slide in order to plug the connector pair one into the other, a lug on the second connector being moved through a slot on the actuating slide during the actuation of the actuating slide for the purpose of connecting and separating the connectors. Provided on the housing of the first connector is a latching arm having a latching hook, by means of which the second connector can be latched with the first connector in a prelatching position. The actuating slide is designed in such a way that this latching can be released by actuating the actuating slide.
