  • On opposite Flat sides of the locking element 72 are stop elements 114 formed, which serve on the one hand, the resilient, in Shape of coil springs formed to hold elements 74 and the other than driving stroke to act.
  • two optional sliding plates 116 are fastened in metal in the edge portion in the insertion direction S 2 .
  • the actuating member 80 is also formed as an injection molded part made of plastic. It has the form of a sleeve which receives the locking element 72 and the housing cap 78 at least partially tight fitting.
  • a front housing collar 118 in the direction of insertion S 2 has smooth walls and a cross-section such that it can be inserted in a form-fitting manner into the first housing 24 and in particular its receiving groove 56.
  • a rear handle portion 120 seen in the direction of insertion S 2 symmetrical parallel to the insertion direction S 2 extending, opposite ends of the insertion direction S 2 open guide channels 122 are formed on opposite flat sides, in which the support members 98, the housing support members 112 and the stop members 114 are feasible.

  • first Cable 84 struck against the contact elements 82 by crimping.
  • the Contact elements 82 are then injection molded second contact element receptacle 64 is inserted and there in a known Way latched.
  • the two shielding parts 68 and 70 transversely to the plug-in direction S2 via the second contact element receptacle 64, with the second tongues 90 under the L-shaped section 92 and edge portions of recessed areas 94 in the first Shielding 68 engage.
  • the first tongues snap 88 in the apertures 96 and close them.
  • the contact element holder 64 is now completely up to its front sides of the shield 66 enclosed because the apertures 96 through the first tongues 88 are covered.
  • the contact element receptacle 64 is opposite the shield 66 is no longer displaceable, since the locking projections 86 engage in the acting as a blocking element L-shaped portion 92.
  • the clamp 100 becomes the exposed shield of the conduit 16 bent and contacted with this (see Fig. 8).
  • the exposed recessed areas 94 now form recesses 124 on opposite sides. At their end faces in the insertion direction S 2 , the recesses 124 define shoulders each having a securing projection 126 as securing elements complementary to the securing elements or snap hooks 46.
  • the operating part 80 is on the resulting Unit pushed and locked with the housing cap 78, so that the second connector 14 shown in Fig. 1 is formed.
  • the second connector with the actuating member 80 is inserted into the first housing 24, wherein the non-symmetrical shape of the inner cross section of the housing 24 and the corresponding outer cross section of the actuating part 80th or the housing collar 118 excluded accidental rotation is.
  • the housing collar 118 is designed so that it is in the receiving groove 56 in the housing 24 substantially form-fitting manner is.
  • the mating ends 32 of the contact pins 20 are inserted into the contact elements 82 in the second contact element receptacle 64, wherein at the same time, favored by mutually bent edges on the front side of the second shield 66, in Figs. 10 to 15 only incomplete and schematically shown snap hook 46 of the second shield 66 are resiliently bent apart and thus stretched. They abut against the end face of the locking element 72 and push the locking element 72, which surrounds the shield 66 and is guided in the guide channel 118 with the stop element 114, from a locking position in which it covers the recesses 124 and the securing projections 126 against the plug-in direction S 1 to the housing cap 78 to.
  • the resilient elements 84 are supported on the support elements 98 of the second shield 66.
  • the locking element 72 is the Securing projections 126 and the recess 124 at least partially free, so that the snap hooks 46 behind the securing projections 126 can snap into the recesses 124 in a backup position (see Fig. 11). The locking element 72 then has the unlocking position reached.
  • the snap hooks 46 after snapping into the recesses 124, no longer block the locking member 72 so that it is urged by the resilient members 74 that are urged by the movement of the locking member 72 relative to the second shield 66
  • Snap hook 46 is moved away in its locking position, in which now the wells 124 with the securing projections 126 and the snap hooks 46 are covered.
  • a movement of the snap hook 46 in a direction orthogonal to the plug-in direction S 1 or S 2 that is, beyond the securing projections 126 away, no longer possible.
  • the first and second connectors 10 and 14 are now secured in the mated position, since the snap hooks 46 engage behind the securing projections 126 and thus prevent a disengagement of the two connectors parallel to the direction of insertion.
  • the actuating member 80 is moved by an opening movement opposite to the insertion direction S 2 on the housing cap 78 to an open position, wherein the run in the guide channels 122 stop elements 114 acting as driving stops 128 acting in the direction of insertion S 2 end walls 130 of the guide channels 122nd be taken as complementary attacks.
  • the locking element 72 is moved from the locking position into the unlocking position.
  • a predetermined by the resilient elements 74 and their spring constant force is necessary so that accidental movement of the actuating member 80 by specifying appropriate forces or spring constants of the resilient elements 74 can be largely excluded.
  • the length or locking position of the locking element 72 is selected so that the actuating member 80 only over a predetermined Distance, in the example about 6 mm, must be moved until the Unlocking is achieved. This excludes, on the one hand, that in a short, random movement of the operating part 80 already a release can take place.
  • the minimum unlocking force can be easily adjusted, which is necessary to effect unlocking.
  • the snap hooks 46 of the first Shield 22 by applying a corresponding force over the Retaining projections 126 pulled and spread apart, including the corresponding hook-shaped portions substantially V-shaped are bent so that the securing projections 126 on the corresponding Legs of the hook-shaped sections are guided.
  • the Snap hooks 46 do not hinder the further pulling apart more, so that the connectors can be completely separated.
