Abstract
A connector of an electric connector coupling has a guide sleeve and at least one engagement element that can be moved between a locking position and a releasing position, as well as a gripping sleeve which, in a first position locks the at least one engagement element in its locking position, and in a second position allows the at least one engagement element to be moved into its releasing position. The connector has been further developed in that the gripping sleeve is capable of occupying a third position, wherein the at least one engagement element is urged with a predetermined force into its locking position. Moreover, an electric connector coupling has such a connector and a matching coupler. The connector can be easily pushed onto the coupler and be pulled off therefrom, and is securely held on the coupler in its fitted state.
