Abstract
A plug connector has a main body, an actuating element, and a contact carrier accommodated in the main body. By pulling on the actuating element against the plugging direction of the plug connector, a locking connection to a mating plug connector can be released and the plug connector can be removed from the mating plug connector. The spring strength of locking arms that enable the locking connection to a mating plug connector can be adjusted by the actuating element. As a result of a spring strength reduced in such a way, the locking connection can be released.
Claims13
A plug connector, having a base body with at least one side formed as a plug face, an actuator, which can be displaced along the base body, at least one latching arm and a contact carrier arranged in the base body, wherein the latching arm is flexibly formed and can execute a pivotal movement, and
- wherein the latching arm has a free end, which is aligned toward that side of the plug connector which is formed as a plug face,
- wherein at least one spring arm is formed on the plug connector, and
- wherein the spring arm abuts against the latching arm and is connected to the actuator, wherein
- a pivotal movement leading radially outwardly away from the center of the plug connector can be executed by the latching arm, wherein the spring arm abuts and touches against the latching arm along its entire length during this pivotal movement.
