Plug connector assembly

A plug connector assembly comprising:

• a first plug connector having a first plug connector housing including a first locking element;
• a second plug connector having a second plug connector housing;
• a rotary lever on the first plug connector housing, the rotary lever having a first driver element, the rotary lever further having a pair of side faces that are connected to one another, the side faces each having a guide path into which in each case a guide pin on the second plug connector housing is inserted in a first rotational position of the rotary lever and is displaced along the guide path by rotation of the rotary lever whereby the plug connector housings are moved toward one another and electrical contact elements within the plug connector housings connect to one another;
• a slide that is linearly movable on the second plug connector housing, the slide having a second driver element and a second locking element;
• wherein the first driver element of the rotary lever cooperates in a form-fit manner with the second driver element of the slide when the rotary lever rotates causing the slide to linearly move as the rotary lever rotates;
• and
• the second locking element of the slide is displaced relative to the first locking element of the first plug connector housing when the slide linearly moves as the rotary lever rotates whereby a form-fit locking action between the first and second locking elements may be established or cancelled.
