By hooking the latching hook of the connector in the locking groove of the mating connector, a mechanical connection of the connector is ensured.
  • the said actuating means is intended to act by axial, directed against the insertion direction movement on the latching hooks and to lift them out of the locking groove of the mating connector. A lock of connector and mating connector is solved.
  • connection elements are either designed to be contacted with a screw, or by means of a so-called push-pull locking.
  • the object of the invention is to design a connection element for plug connectors in such a way that they can be contacted and latched with two types of mating plug connectors.
