Abstract
A plug connector arrangement has a socket housing with receptacle contacts and a plug housing with pluggable contacts. To make an electrical connection between the receptacle contacts and the pluggable contacts, at least one of the housings is movable so that it can be pushed together with the other housing. At least one actuation slide means is mounted on the movable housing and is displaceable in a direction transverse to a direction of movement of the moveable housing. The actuation slide means has at least one control element that co-operates with at least one control means arranged on the other housing such that the movable housing is actuated toward the other housing when the actuation slide means is displaced. The actuation slide means has at least one latching device that co-operates with at least one corresponding latching element on the fixed housing to hold the moveable housing in position relative to the fixed housing before actuation.
