Abstract

An electrical plug connector is described, which has a U-shaped locking clip (30), two mutually parallel running limbs (32, 33) and a base (31) running essentially at right angles to them, a connector housing (1) having two pins (21, 22) which are integrally formed on a pivoting shaft (20) on the opposite side surfaces (18, 19) of the connector housing, pointing outwards, and on which the free ends (36, 37) of the limbs (32, 33) are hinged, and comprises a mating connector housing (2) having an apron (4), in which the clip (30) and the mating connector housing (2) have complimentary engagement elements (39, 12) for inserting the connector housing (1) into the mating connector housing (2). At least one of the two limbs (32, 33) has a lever arm (50) which can pivot elastically about a rotation shaft (60) and has a projection (74), which rests on the side surface (18 or 19) at the level of the pivoting shaft (60), in which the rotation shaft (60) essentially coincides with the longitudinal axis of the limb (32, 33), and the mechanical connection between the head end (51) of the lever arm (50) and a latching element (25, 26) fitted on the corresponding side surface (18, 19) of the connector housing (1) can be released, in that the apron (4) extends onto the foot end (53) of the lever arm (50) when the connector housing (1) is inserted into the mating connector housing (2).
