  • a flat object such as a screwdriver, are introduced from behind into the connecting device 5 between the connecting device 5 and the housing 2.1 of the first connector 2, in order subsequently to release the connecting device 5 by levering out of its locking position.
  • the connecting device 5 is connected captively to the first connector 2.
  • the connecting device 5 has in the exemplary embodiment on each leg 5.1 a stop element 10 in the manner of a protruding from the connecting device 5 flag, a projection or a tab.
  • the housing 2.1 of the first connector 2 has for this purpose correspond on both sides in each case a stop 1 1, in order to limit a movement of the connecting device 5 along the guide 9 against the remote from the unlocked position in a direction away from the locking position.
  • the illustrated stop member 10 prevents it by striking the stop 1 1 of the housing 2.1 of the first connector 2, that the connecting device 5 can be deducted from the first connector 2 in the embodiment up or lifted.
  • the guide 9 itself has a kind of end stop.
  • the embodiment shown in the embodiment of the stop element 10 and the stopper 1 1 allows a particularly simple assembly of the connecting device fifth on the housing 2.1 of the first connector 2.
  • the U-shaped connection means 5 can be easily placed on the housing 2.1 (viewed from above in the embodiment) and as far pushed onto the housing 2.1 until the stop element 10 overcome the stop 1 1 has and after overcoming the stop 1 1 snaps into place, so that movement in the opposite direction by the stop element 10 of the locking device 5 and the stop 1 1 of the housing 2.1 is prevented.
  • the assembly of the connecting device on the housing 2.1 takes place in such a way that the connecting device 5 is threaded into the guide 9 and moved along this, in order to mount the connecting device 5 on the housing 2.1.
  • the stop 1 1 can be produced in a particularly simple manner in the housing in that the housing 2.1 has a recess, a shoulder, a step or a recess whose edge, as shown in the figures, then the stop 1 1 forms for the stop element 10.
  • a design of the stop element 10 as a flag, projection or tab, which protrudes preferably opposite to the plug-in direction via the connecting device 5, causes the stop element 10 in the assembly of the connecting device 5 on the housing 2.1 bend particularly advantageous or can bend outward so that it can overcome the stop 1 1 of the housing 2.1.
  • the connecting device 5 further comprises a securing member 12 and the housing 2.1 of the first connector 2 at least one stop surface 13, wherein the stop surface 13 in the unmated condition of the connector 2, 3, a movement of the connecting device from the unlocked position in the direction of the locking prevents lunging position, since the locking member 12 is then in the displacement and blocking by the stop surface 13 is a displacement.
  • the securing member 12 is formed in the embodiment as a snap hook 12, preferably bent or graded or configured with kinks.
  • the snap hook 12 is biased such that the snap hook 12 rests in the unmated condition of the connector 2, 3 on the stop surface 13 of the housing 2.1 of the first connector 2.
  • the snap hook 12 extends with at least a portion inwards and thus lies on the stop surface 13.
  • both ends 12.1, 12.2 of the snap-action hook 12 are connected to the connecting device 5.
  • the second connector 3 has in the embodiment on both sides at corresponding positions on each unlocking elements 14 which are arranged and designed such that the unlocking elements 14 so move the snap hooks 12 when mating the connector 2, 3 or bend that the abutment surfaces 13 of the housing 2.1 of the first connector 2 is no longer in the displacement of the connecting device 5 from the unlocking position to the locking position.
  • the unlocking elements 14 may preferably press apart the areas of the corners of a snap-action hook 12.
  • the snap hooks 12 are particularly well visible in Figures 1 and 14 together with the connector 1. In both figures, the snap hooks 12 are in their secure position, d. H. in the displacement of the connecting device 5 from the unlocked position into the locking position.
  • the first connector 2 is shown in a rear view with a partial section through the connecting device 5 along the section line A-A of Figure 1 1, whereby the snap hook 12 is visible.
  • FIG. 2 schematically shows a simple snap hook 12 in an isometric view.
  • the snap hook 12 is on one side at its first end 12.1 fixed to the (not shown here) connecting device 5 is connected.
  • the snap hook 12 is formed elastically and arranged in its normal position in the displacement of the connecting device 5, ie it rests on the stop surface 13 of the housing 2.1 of the first connector 2 (not shown here). If a force is then exerted along the arrow direction shown in FIG. 2, for example by an unlocking element 14 which is inserted along the direction of insertion, the snap hook 12 can be moved out of its securing position. Following this, the connecting device 5 can be displaceable along the guide 9 from its unlocking position into the locking position (see arrow direction in FIG. 3).
  • the connecting device 5 can be displaceable along the guide 9 from its unlocking position into the locking position (see arrow direction in FIG. 3).
  • the connecting device 5 can be displaceable along the guide 9 from its unlocking position into the locking position (see arrow direction in FIG.
  • FIGs 4 and 5 another snap hook 12 is shown schematically, wherein the snap hook 12 is connected at both ends 12.1, 12.2 with the connecting device 5.
  • the snap hook 12 is thereby more robust. Nevertheless, the functionality, as shown, is still given, for example, by the fact that the snap hook 12 is deformed (see Figure 5).
  • the particularly preferred embodiment of the snap hook 12 in an angled form, as realized in the embodiment, is shown in Figures 6 and 7.
  • the snap hook 12 is also firmly connected at both ends 12.1, 12.2 with the connecting device 5.
  • the snap hook 12 can be formed extremely resistant to undesirable force along the direction of movement of the guide 9. Unwanted unlocking can be prevented.
  • the angled snap hook 12 may be similar in shape to the tilted digit "7" or the horizontal letter "L".
  • a pressing force on the actuating surface 5.2 thus leads, if the snap hook 12 is not yet deflected, only to the fact that the force is introduced directly into the stop surface 13 via the corresponding portion of the snap hook 12. A bending of the snap-action hook 12 is therefore not to be feared.
  • the guide 9 between the connecting device 5 and the housing 2.1 of the first connector 2 is shown in Figure 13 in a plan view.
  • FIG. 13 shows a partial section along the section line B-B of FIG.
  • the guide 9 is executed in the embodiment as a dovetail joint 9.
  • a dovetail joint 9 has proved to be particularly advantageous, since the legs 5.1 of the U-shaped connecting device 5 guided thereby along the housing 2.1 of the first connector 2 are movable. A lateral bending of the legs 5.1 is largely prevented, even if an excessive load on the connector 1 occurs.
  • the connector 1 is thus particularly robust.
