The male connectorcomprises a male connector housingwith an elastic locking armwith a locking strut. The male connectorhas a sliderarranged to, which is displaceably held on the male connector housingin an axially limited way. In the locking position the sliderprevents a deflection of the locking armand releases the same in a position different thereto. Compression springs, supported on the male connector housingand on the slider, act on the sliderfor taking up its locking position. An elastic retaining elementmade from round steel, is mounted on the slider. In the relaxed condition of the spring leg, the retaining elementcontacts the end faceof the female connector housing. By means of abutting a releasing face of the male connector housingthe retaining element is brought out off contact to the end face of the female connector housing.
