Connector arrangement

An electrical plug connector, comprising:

• a connector housing;
• and
• a housing interlock element adapted to secure the connector housing to a mating connector, the housing interlock element movable relative to the connector housing between a pre-latched position and a final latched position, the housing interlock element having a switching element including an electrically conductive element, wherein the electrically conductive element comprises a metallic pin extending transversely to a plug-in direction through the housing interlock element, the plug-in direction is a direction in which the plug connector is adapted to be plugged onto the mating plug connector.
