  • the connector 1 comprises a housing 3, which is functionally separated along a longitudinal axis L into a first housing section 4 and a second housing section 5.
  • the first housing section 4 are arranged parallel to the longitudinal axis L receiving chambers 13 for contact elements, not shown here.
  • the first housing section 4 merges into the second housing section 5, which forms a receptacle 6 for the mating connector 2.
  • the second housing portion 5 is designed in the form of a socket into which a front housing portion of a housing 7 of the mating connector 2 can be inserted.
  • the housing 7 of the mating connector 2 also has receiving chambers 8 arranged parallel to the longitudinal axis L for contact elements, not shown here.
  • the contact elements of the connector 1 are formed as a contact plug and protrude from their respective receiving chambers 13 into the receptacle 6 inside.
  • the contact elements of the mating connector 2 are formed as contact sockets, which are arranged within the housing 7 of the mating connector 2. In the in FIG. 1 shown not fully connected position of the mating connector 2, the contact plug did not come into contact with the contact sockets. In the in FIG. 2 shown fully connected position of the mating connector 2, the contact plug with the contact sockets have entered into communication, wherein the contact plug protrude into the receiving chambers 8 of the mating connector 2, wherein the receiving chambers 8 of the mating connector 2 open into openings of an end face 16 of the housing 7.
  • Two of the secondary locking elements 9, 9 ' are pivotally mounted on one side of the housing 3 about a first pivot axis S1.
  • the two other secondary locking elements 9 "are pivotably mounted on a remote side of the housing 3 about a second pivot axis S2 on the housing 3.
  • the two pivot axes S1, S2 intersect the longitudinal axis L at a distance and at a right angle to this.
  • the secondary locking element 9 is fastened to the housing 3 via a film hinge 17. It has a locking portion 10 and a locking portion 11, wherein the locking portion 10 is disposed on one side of the first pivot axis S1 and the locking portion 11 on the other side of the first pivot axis S1, so that there is a kind of rocker.
  • the secondary locking element 9 can be about the first pivot axis S1 between a in FIG. 1 illustrated unlocking position and a in FIG. 2 Swing the locking position shown. In the unlocking position, the locking portion 10 is farther from the longitudinal axis L than in the locking position. Since the locking portion 10 and the locking portion 11 are designed like a rocker, the locking portion 11 is in the in FIG. 1 illustrated unlocking position closer to the longitudinal axis L than in the in FIG. 2 illustrated locking position.
  • the locking projection 12 engages in the locking position in a plurality of receiving chambers 13 of the connector 1 a.
