COUPLING

摘要

The invention relates to a coupling consisting of a first coupling element, a second coupling element, and an associated (first and second) tubular coupling housing element into which a (first and second) contact carrier comprising a plug contact or socket contact can be inserted. According to the invention, the first contact carrier extends into a sleeve for receiving the second contact carrier. The sleeve comprises a collar on the end thereof, and externally carries a compressible body that is applied to the collar. The first contact carrier comprises at least one catch recess on the outer circumference thereof, and the first coupling housing element comprises at least one catch to be received in the catch recess. A pressure ring is arranged on the first contact carrier in a sliding manner, said pressure ring being connected to the body and extending to the catch. A retaining ring holding the catch in the catch recess is arranged on the first coupling housing element in a sliding manner. A cylindrical cavity for receiving the sleeve, the body and the pressure ring is provided between the second contact carrier and the second coupling housing element.
