  • the locking element 72 Upon further insertion, the locking element 72 releases the securing projections 126 and the depression 124 at least partially, so that the snap-action hooks 46 can snap into the depressions 124 in a securing position behind the securing projections 126 (see Fig. 11). The locking element 72 has then reached the unlocking position.
  • the housing collar 118 is inserted as far as possible into the receiving groove 56 in the first housing 24, wherein the handle portion 120 abuts in its connecting position on the end face of the first housing 24 and thus a further movement prevented in Caribbeansteckraum. Furthermore, the area in which the contact elements are plugged together, completely surrounded by the mated housings and thus protected.
  • 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.
  • the depression 124 and in particular the securing projections 126 and the snap-action hooks 46 are partially released, so that they can be moved in a direction transverse to the insertion direction.
  • 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 position is reached. This precludes, on the one hand, that an unlocking can take place in the event of a brief, random movement of the actuating part 80.
  • the minimum force for unlocking can be easily adjusted, which is necessary to effect unlocking.
  • the snap hooks 46 of the first shield 22 are pulled and spread apart by applying a corresponding force to the securing protrusions 126, for which the corresponding hook-shaped portions are bent substantially V-shaped, so that the securing protrusions 126 are guided on the respective legs of the hook-shaped portions ,
  • the Snap hooks 46 no longer hinder the further pulling apart, so that the connectors can be completely separated.
