1. A locking mechanism (1) for locking a plug-in connector (40) with a mating connector (50) to be contacted,
wherein the locking mechanism (1) may be provided on the plug-in connector (40) and consists of a base body (10) and at least two types of locking elements, wherein at least one primary locking element (20) of a first type is provided so as to be movable between a first location (2A) and a second location (2B), and wherein at least one secondary locking element (30) of a second type is provided so as to be movable between a first position (3A) and a second position (3B), wherein the locking mechanism (1) may have a first, opened state in which the plug-in connector (40) and the mating connector (50) are not contacted, the primary locking element (20) is in the first location (2A) and the second locking element (30) is in the first position (3A), as well as a second, closed state in which the plug-in connector (40) and the mating connector (50) are locked together, the primary locking element (20) is in the second location (2B) and the secondary locking element (30) is in the second position (3B), wherein the primary locking element (20) has a locking means (21) which, in the second location (2B), engages in the contacted mating connector (50) and in this way locks the plug-in connector (40) with the mating connector (50), the primary locking element (20) is suitable for blocking, in the first location (2A), a movement of the secondary locking element (30) from the first position (3A) into the second position (3B), the secondary locking element (30) is suitable for blocking, in the second position (3B), a movement of the primary locking element (20) from the second location (2B) into the first location (2A), and wherein a primary spring element (25) is provided which exerts a force on the primary locking element (20) and effects in this way a forced movement of the primary locking element (20) into the first location (2A). |
