Abstract
Plug-in connection, comprising a plug-in connector (1) which can be plugged together with a mating plug-in connector, also known as a pin housing (2), it being possible to at least indirectly lock the plug-in connector (1) with the mating plug-in connector (2), characterised in that a bushing housing (3) is provided which at least partially surrounds the plug-in connector (1) and provides the locking with the mating plug-in connector or pin housing (2), and in that the plug-in connector (1), the mating plug-in connector or the pin housing (2) and the bushing housing (3) are operatively interconnected by means of a lever mechanism and can be braced together.
Claims5
A plug connection comprises:
- a main connector;
- a mating connector latchable at least indirectly to the mating connector;
- a sleeve at least partially engaged around the main connector and at least indirectly latchable to the mating connector, the sleeve or the mating connector being formed with a slot;
- a lever having ends of which one carries a pin that after insertion into the slot is movable therein, the lever operatively connecting the main connector, the mating connector, and the sleeve to one another thereby bracing the sleeve and connectors against each other;
- and
- a spring on the lever at an edge of the slot facing the mating connector and biasing the mating connector toward the main connector.
