Abstract

See full text

OWG plug connector for a mechanically releasable connection between at least one OWG connector pair. The OWG plug connector has a connector having a first housing with at least one first chamber for accommodating a first OWG connector. The first chamber has a hole at one end. A mating connector is provided which is complementary to the connector and has at least one second chamber for accommodating a second OWG connector. At least two opposite walls of the second chamber are designed as latching arms. The two OWG connectors have end pieces bounded by exit faces. The first OWG connector is mounted without play in the first chamber. The exit face of the first OWG connector is arranged in the hole of the first chamber. The second OWG connector is seated with longitudinal play in the second chamber with the latching arms pressing, by means of latching lugs, the second OWG connector against a second stop of the second chamber. When the connector is plugged into the mating connector, the wall of the hole penetrates the second chamber, the second OWG connector is lifted from the stop, the exit face of the second OWG connector penetrates the hole, the two OWG connectors are centered in the hole and a defined gap is provided between the exit faces, which are arranged parallel.
