Abstract
An electrical plug-type connector is proposed with latching elements arranged on opposite sides of the connector for mechanical locking of the connector. The latching elements extend over not more than half the side of the connector and are arranged diagonally opposite one another such that when contact is made between complementary connectors, the respective latching elements along the sides of connectors are arranged adjacent to each other in a non-interfering manner.
