Connecting element for a storage battery

A connecting arrangement comprising

• a connecting pin extending along a first axis and having a contact region, a securing region and a connecting region, and
• a connecting element having an electrically insulating housing element with a housing wall that delimits an interior space and having a contact element comprising a first contact portion for electrically connecting the connecting element to the contact region of the connecting pin and comprising a second contact portion for electrically connecting the connecting element to the external electrically conductive element,
• wherein the contact element is arranged in the interior space of the housing element,
• wherein the contact element can be connected along said first axis to the connecting pin, such that an electrical contact can be established between the contact element and the connecting pin,
• wherein the connecting element has a securing element that is movable relative to the contact element from a securing position into a release position,
• wherein if the contact element is contacted with the connecting pin, the securing element is in the securing position, in which it is connected via a form fit to the securing region of the connecting pin, whereby the connection between connecting element and connecting pin is secured in a form-fitting manner,
• wherein the securing element can be moved from the securing position into the release position, wherein, in the release position, the form fit between securing element and the connecting pin is cancelled and a movement between contact element and connecting pin is thus enabled, and
• wherein the securing element constitutes an integral part of the housing element, wherein the housing element is movable as a whole relative to the contact element, and wherein the securing element is formed rigidly on the housing element.
