Mit anderen Worten ist der erfindungsgemäße elektrische Steckverbinder besonders einfach verriegelbar und/oder entriegelbar. Der erfindungsgemäße elektrische Steckverbinder weist dazu die erste Rastlasche, die zweite Rastlasche und das Einrastelement auf, welche beim Verbinden des ersten Steckers mit dem zweiten Stecker miteinander verrasten, vorzugsweise eine selbstverriegelnde insbesondere formschlüssige und/oder kraftschlüssige Verbindung eingehen. Ferner erlaubt der erfindungsgemäße elektrische Steckverbinder ein Lösen des ersten Steckers von dem zweiten Stecker mittels des Werkzeugs, vorzugsweise eines Schraubendrehers.According to the invention, such an electrical connector is provided with a first connector and a second connector, in which the first connector with the second connector is particularly simple and secure connectable and the first connector of the second connector is particularly simple and secure solvable. In other words, the electrical connector according to the invention is particularly easy locked and / or unlocked. The electrical connector according to the invention has for this purpose the first latching tab, the second latching tab and the latching element, which engage with each other when connecting the first plug to the second plug, preferably enter into a self-locking particular positive and / or non-positive connection. Furthermore, the electrical connector according to the invention allows a release of the first connector from the second connector by means of the tool, preferably a screwdriver.
Weiterhin ist bevorzugt, dass das Entriegelungselement an der einen Seite an der ersten Lösezunge anliegt und an der gegenüberliegenden Seite an der zweiten Lösezunge anliegt. Weiterhin können eine Mehrzahl von Rastlaschen und/oder Lösezungen vorgesehen sein, wobei das Entriegelungselement an der einen Seite an dem einen Teil der Lösezungen anliegt und an der gegenüberliegenden Seite an dem anderen Teil der Lösezungen anliegt, wobei eine jeweilige Lösezunge an einer Rastlasche anliegt.Furthermore, it is preferred that the unlocking element rests against the first release tongue on one side and abuts on the opposite side on the second release tongue.

Ein derartiger elektrischer Steckverbinder zeichnet sich durch eine sehr einfache Montage und eine dauerhaft hohe Betriebssicherheit, insbesondere bei Außenanwendungen und der damit einhergehenden Belastungen durch unterschiedlichste Witterungseinflüsse, aus. Insbesondere ermöglicht der erfindungsgemäße elektrische Steckverbinder eine sichere und einfache Verbindung des ersten Steckers mit dem zweiten Stecker sowie eine sichere und einfache Trennung des ersten Steckers von dem zweiten Stecker, da das Entriegelungselement einerseits ein ungewolltes Lösen des ersten Steckers von dem zweiten Stecker verhindert und andererseits aber auch einfach mittels des Werkzeugs entriegelbar ist.Such an electrical connector is characterized by a very simple installation and a permanently high reliability, especially in outdoor applications and the associated burdens due to a variety of weather conditions, from. In particular, the electrical connector according to the invention allows a secure and easy connection of the first connector to the second connector and a safe and easy separation of the first connector from the second connector, since the unlocking on the one hand prevents accidental release of the first connector of the second connector and on the other hand also can be unlocked simply by means of the tool.
Gemäß einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass das Entriegelungselement durch Verschwenken des zwischen dem Entriegelungselement und der ersten Lösezunge und/oder zwischen dem Entriegelungselement und der zweiten Lösezunge eingeführten Werkzeugs bewegbar ist. Mit anderen Worten erlaubt das Verschwenken des zwischen dem Entriegelungselement und der ersten Lösezunge und/oder zwischen dem Entriegelungselement und der zweiten Lösezunge eingeführten Werkzeugs das Lösen des ersten Steckers von dem zweiten Stecker. Somit erlaubt der elektrische Steckverbinder eine besonders einfache Entriegelung des ersten Steckers von dem zweiten Stecker mittels des Werkzeugs, welches vorzugsweise als handelsüblicher Schraubendreher ausführbar ist, verhindert andererseits jedoch eine Entriegelung des ersten Steckers von dem zweiten Stecker ohne Werkzeug, beispielsweise durch ungewolltes manuelles Betätigen oder Anfassen des elektrischen Steckverbinders.According to a further preferred embodiment of the invention it is provided that the unlocking element is movable by pivoting the introduced between the unlocking and the first release tab and / or between the unlocking and the second release tab tool. In other words, the pivoting of the tool inserted between the unlocking element and the first releasing tongue and / or between the unlocking element and the second releasing tongue permits the detachment of the first plug from the second plug. Thus, the electrical connector allows a particularly simple unlocking of the first connector of the second connector by means of the tool, which is preferably executable as a standard screwdriver, on the other hand, however, prevents unlocking of the first connector of the second connector without tools, for example by accidental manual actuation or touch of the electrical connector.
Durch das Verschwenken des zwischen dem Entriegelungselement und der ersten Lösezunge und/oder zwischen dem Entriegelungselement und der zweiten Lösezunge eingeführten Werkzeugs lässt sich das Entriegelungselement quer, vorzugsweise senkrecht, zur Längsachse des elektrischen Steckverbinders bewegen, also beispielsweise quer zur Steckrichtung des elektrischen Steckverbinders, so dass das Entriegelungselement an der einen Seite die eine Lösezunge hin zur Längsachse des elektrischen Steckverbinders bewegt und durch das Verschwenken des eingeführten Werkzeugs die andere Lösezunge hin zur Längsachse des elektrischen Steckverbinders bewegbar ist, somit die erste Rastlasche und die zweite Rastlasche aus dem Einrastelement lösbar sind, so dass der erste Stecker von dem zweiten Stecker lösbar ist. Vorzugsweise ist das Werkzeug in einem Winkel zur Längsachse des elektrischen Steckverbinders verschwenkbar.By pivoting the introduced between the unlocking element and the first release tab and / or between the unlocking and the second release tab tool, the unlocking can transversely, preferably perpendicular, move to the longitudinal axis of the electrical connector, so for example transverse to the insertion direction of the electrical connector, so that the unlocking on one side moves a release tab towards the longitudinal axis of the electrical connector and by the pivoting the inserted tool, the other release tongue is movable toward the longitudinal axis of the electrical connector, thus the first locking tab and the second locking tab from the latching element are detachable, so that the first connector of the second connector is detachable. Preferably, the tool is pivotable at an angle to the longitudinal axis of the electrical connector.
Grundsätzlich kann das Entriegelungselement beliebig ausgestaltet sein.

Die trichterförmige Ausnehmung vereinfacht das Einführen des Werkzeugs, insbesondere der Spitze des Werkzeugs, zwischen dem Entriegelungselement und der Lösezunge. Ferner vereinfacht die trichterförmige Ausnehmung das Verschwenken des eingeführten Werkzeugs und somit die Verschiebung des Entriegelungselements quer zur Längsachse des elektrischen Steckverbinders. Mit anderen Worten kann die trichterförmige Ausnehmung einen ersten Gegenanschlag für das eingeführte Werkzeug ausbilden, während ein zweiter Gegenanschlag für das eingeführte Werkzeug durch die erste Lösezunge oder zweite Lösezunge ausbildbar ist.In principle, the unlocking element can be configured as desired. According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, however, it is provided that the unlocking element is configured such that between the first release tab and the unlocking and / or between the second release tab and the unlocking a funnel-shaped recess for insertion of the tool is provided. The funnel-shaped recess simplifies the insertion of the tool, in particular the tip of the tool, between the unlocking element and the release tongue. Furthermore, the funnel-shaped recess simplifies the pivoting of the inserted tool and thus the displacement of the unlocking element transversely to the longitudinal axis of the electrical connector. In other words, the funnel-shaped recess can form a first counter-stop for the inserted tool, while a second counter-stop for the inserted tool can be formed by the first release tongue or second release tongue.
Weiterhin ist bevorzugt, dass einer ersten trichterförmigen Ausnehmung gegenüberliegend eine zweite trichterförmige Ausnehmung angeordnet ist. Durch eine derartige Ausgestaltung kann das Werkzeug sowohl von der einen Seite als auch von der anderen Seite zwischen das Entriegelungselement und der Lösezunge eingeführt werden, so dass der erste Stecker von dem zweiten Stecker mittels des Werkzeugs sowohl von der einen Seite als auch von der anderen Seite lösbar ist.Furthermore, it is preferred that a second funnel-shaped recess is arranged opposite a first funnel-shaped recess. By such a configuration, the tool can be inserted both from the one side and from the other side between the unlocking member and the release tab, so that the first connector from the second connector by means of the tool both from one side and from the other side is solvable.
Grundsätzlich können die erste Rastlasche und die zweite Rastlasche beliebig ausgestaltet sein. Gemäß einer bevorzugten Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist jedoch vorgesehen, dass die erste Rastlasche und/oder die zweite Rastlasche als Rasthaken ausgestaltet ist. Weiterhin ist bevorzugt, dass der Rasthaken als ein von der Längsachse des elektrischen Steckverbinders radial nach außen gerichteter nasenförmiger Rasthaken ausgeführt ist. Durch eine derartige Ausgestaltung lässt sich eine besonders einfache und sichere Verrastung der Rastlasche mit dem Einrastelement erreichen.In principle, the first latching tab and the second latching tab can be configured as desired. According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, however, it is provided that the first latching tab and / or the second locking tab is designed as a latching hook. Furthermore, it is preferred that the latching hook is designed as a nose-shaped latching hook directed radially outwardly from the longitudinal axis of the electrical connector.
