Electrical plug connection, particularly for motor vehicle applications

摘要

An electrical plug connection is provided having a plug housing and a complimentary contact housing. A transverse slide is slidably coupled to the contact housing between a closed position and an open position. The transverse slide locks the plug housing to the contact housing in the closed position. At least one movable carriage is slidably coupled to the contact housing. At least one spring element exerts a force between the movable carriage and the transverse slide during closing of the transverse slide. The spring element pushes the transverse slide to the open position when there is an incomplete closing of the transverse slide. The transverse slide is locked in the closed position only on complete closing of the transverse slide.
