Abstract
An electrical plug-and-socket connector includes first and second connector parts which each have a chamber housing to respectively hold complementary first and second contacts. The second part includes a catch. A latching element is adjustably connected to the first part to be movable from a latching position to a tensioned position. When the parts are joined together along a first axial direction the parts have axial play with respect to one another to enable the latching element to latch behind the catch to prevent withdrawal of the parts from one another when the latching element is in the latching position. The latching element is tensioned to move in a second axial direction opposite to the first axial direction in order to eliminate the axial play between the parts while latching the parts together when the latching element is in the tensioned position.
