Abstract
A plug-in connector for connecting to a receptacle includes a housing including tripping structures, electrically conductive terminals partly situated in the housing, latches arranged in the housing, and a slider slidingly coupled to the housing, and further includes blocking structures and trippable structures extending in a mating direction and that cooperate with the tripping structures, and a spring that urges the slider outward away from the housing in the mating direction. The tripping structures are situated to engage with the trippable structures during an initial stage of relative movement between the housing and slider against the spring bias while inward deflection of the latches is allowed. The blocking structures of the slider prevent inward deflection of the latches after a final stage of the relative movement between the housing and slider, and the connector has an electrically interconnected state only when in the final stage.
