A plug and socket connector arrangement with a shaped plug and socket mating slider ( ). Two parallel arms ( ) grips one of the complementary parts ( ) of the arrangement in order to draw it to the second complementary part ( ) of the connector by actuating a guide slot ( ) and a sliding block arrangement ( ). The plug and socket mating slider ( ) is led to a guide groove ( ) in the connector arrangement, along which are arranged stopping faces ( ) against which push the front faces ( ) of the arms ( ), provided that one of the complementary parts ( ) of the connector is not inserted between the plug and socket connector mating slider ( ).
