Abstract
A plug connector which has a main body, an actuator, a latch, and a block. The latch locks a receptacle of a counterpart plug connector by a push-pull mechanism. The latch can be released by actuation of the actuator. The block prevents the latch from moving into a locking position, in the unplugged state of the connector, i.e. without the seated receptacle. Thus, the connector can adopt two static states, an open state and a closed state.
Claims12
A plug connector, having a base body with a first side designed as a plug-connection face, and a second side designed as a power-supply side, an actuator configured to be shifted along the base body, a plug-connection region, and at least one latch, wherein the actuator is configured to assume a first closed position and a second open position, wherein the latch is configured to assume a first locking position and a second unlocking position, wherein, in the first locking position, the latch engages at least in certain places in the plug-connection region and releases the movement region of the first closed position of the latch, wherein, in the second locking position, the latch releases the plug-connection region and engages at least in certain places in the movement region of the first closed position of the actuator, wherein, in its first closed position, the actuator engages in the movement region of the second locking position of the latch and blocks the latch in its first locking position, wherein the plug connector has a block which is arranged in the plug-connection region of the plug connector and configured to assume a first blocking position and a second unblocking position.
