A plug-and-socket connector ( 10 ) has a plastic housing ( 11 ) that holds electrical male or female contacts ( 14 ) in boreholes ( 16, 17 ) next to each other, and whose forward end forms a plug extension ( 13 ) or as a socket extension ( 113 ) and whose rear end receives and locks the male or female contacts ( 14 ) in the housing ( 11 ). In a plug and socket connector ( 10 ) of this type, in order to lock the male or female contacts in two ways, independently of each other, in the plastic housing ( 11 ), at the same time permitting the plastic housing ( 11 ) to be shaped using injection molding technology in a relatively simple manner, it is provided that, for receiving a male or female contact ( 14 ), a first catch ( 37 ) protrudes in the area of each borehole ( 16, 17 ) located on the other, rear housing end ( 12, 112 ), the catch being arranged on a fixed wall ( 36 ) of the rear housing end and engaging a first collar ( 29 ) of the male or female contact ( 14 ) from behind, and a second catch ( 41, 51 ) is provided on a cover ( 23, 24 ) so as to allow the radially open rear housing end ( 12 ) to be closed and covered, the catch engaging the first collar ( 29 ) or a second collar ( 30 ) of the male or female contact ( 14 ) from behind.
