Abstract
An electrical plug and socket connector, having a socket part and a plug part, is described, the socket part including a housing, in which an actuating lever is mounted so that it can pivot about a pivot point. The lever includes teeth at its free end, which work together with an additional gearing element, which is connected to a plug connector that is displaceable in the housing almost perpendicularly to the direction of insertion via guide grooves. The teeth of actuating lever are arranged on an elliptical path with respect to pivot point of actuating lever, and gearing element is arranged obliquely to the actual direction of displacement of plug connector.
Claims3
