Abstract
An apparatus for securing at least one contact in a contact housing, consists of a contact-securing plate which is arranged such that it can be displaced perpendicularly with respect to the plug-in direction and interacts with carry-along elements of an attachment aid, which is displaced from a first position into a second position by virtue of the rotary movement of a lever arm and, as a result, the contact-securing plate is displaced from a first unlatched position into a second latched position, and secures the contacts, even when the attachment aid is displaced from the second position back into the first position.
