Abstract
A housing device for an electrical connection terminal has a terminal housing and latching systems with two latching units interacting with one another, wherein one latching unit is a latching arm connected to the terminal housing and extending out away from the terminal housing, and the second latching unit is a latching connector for interacting with the latching arm for latching. The latching connector has a latching body with a wedge-like shape in a latching direction, along a movement of the two latching units during latching. A latching toothed portion is provided on at least one transverse surface of a first of the two latching units and a meshing unit is provided on transverse surfaces of a second of the two latching units. The latching toothed portion and the meshing unit mesh with one another so as to latch in order to latch the latching units interacting with one another.
