Abstract
A plug-type connection comprises a housing () on the female-connector side having a female-connector element () conducting the electrical current, a housing () on the male-connector side having a male-connector element () conducting the electrical current, and at least one contact element () for making electrical contact between the female-connector element () and the male-connector element (). The female-connector element () and the male-connector element () extend substantially along a mid-axis (M). The housing () on the female-connector side and the housing () on the male-connector side and therefore the female-connector element () and the male-connector element () can be connected to one another via a plug-in movement (S), and electrical contact between the female-connector element () and the male-connector element () is produced in the connected state. The contact element () produces a first resistive force (F) counter to the plug-in movement. The plug-type connection furthermore comprises an automatically self-locking locking element () for locking the plug-type connection, said locking element () producing a second resistive force (F) counter to the plug-in movement (S). Guide elements () are provided between the housing () on the female-connector side and the housing () on the male-connector side, said guide elements being designed such that the application of a torque to at least one of the two housings () results in an assisting force in the direction of the plug-in movement (S), with the result that at least part of the resistive forces (F, F) can be overcome by this resistive force.
