Abstract
A plug connector ( ) is specified which has a plug ( ) and a mating connector ( ), of which one ( ) has latching arms ( ) which, during the coupling operation, interact with corresponding latching tabs ( ) on the other in order to lock the plug connection, the latching arms ( ) having, on their inner side at their free ends, a hook ( ) with a chamfered front side ( ) and a likewise chamfered rear side ( ), as viewed in the plug-in direction, the latching tabs ( ) likewise have chamfered front ( ) and rear sides ( ), with essentially identical angles of inclination in such a way that when latched the respective rear sides ( ) of the latching arms ( ) and latching tabs ( ) lie completely on top of one another, and on their outer sides, between their end connected to the housing and the point at which they rest on the latching tab ( ), the latching arms ( ) can be pressed in resiliently until the rear side ( ) of their respective latching hook pivots around the ridge ( ) of the latching tab ( ), runs essentially parallel to the plug-in direction and enables the connection to be released.
