Abstract
In an electric pin-and-socket coupler, between a first connector receiving a wiring harness and a second connector as a plug receiver on a stationary control unit, an auxiliary device having a lever as a manipulating part for closing or opening the pin-and-socket coupler locks securely in the closed position of the pin-and-socket coupler regardless of the feeding direction of the wiring harness. To that end, attached to the first connector is a latching member which bears two latching elements, of which the second latching element, after a displacement of the latching member transversely to the moving direction of the lever, comes into its grasping area, such that it forms an end stop for the lever. The electric pin-and-socket coupler is used in particular in the automobile industry.
