Abstract
The invention relates to a connector system of a connector and a counterpart. The connector includes a pivotally supported locking arm extending towards said counterpart, wherein said locking arm includes a first locking portion adapted to engage with a second locking portion of said counterpart by a first rotating movement (R) of said locking arm to a locked position to lock said connector and said counterpart and to disengage from said second locking portion by a second rotating movement (R) to an unlocked position to unlock said connector and said counterpart. The system is adapted to support said locking arm after said second rotating movement (R) to prevent said locking arm to rotate backwards to said locked position. The invention further relates to a method for unplugging such a connector and a counterpart.
