Abstract: A plug contact pairing comprises a plug pot with contact pins, as well as a plug head with contact circuits for connection of electrical line ends. A profiled ring (securing ring) is used to mount the plug head in an interlocking manner in the plug pot, is incorporated with a part of its cross section in a circumferential groove in the plug head and, during closure of the plug contact pairing, latches with the rest of its cross section into a groove on the internal circumference of the plug pot. By virtue of the shape and material of the securing ring and the slot shape, the plug head can be pulled out of the plug pot only with a tensile force which is greater than the limit value.
