  • Publication number: 20220190520
    Abstract: An electrical plug device includes a connector housing pluggable with a mating housing, a connection aid engageable with the mating housing, a position assurance element held at the connector housing and displaceable from an open position to a securing position, and a blocking mechanism. The connection aid is movable from a plugging position to a holding position. The connector housing in the plugging position is connectable to the mating housing. The mating housing in the holding position is held at the connector housing. The connection aid in the open position is movable from the plugging position to the holding position and in the securing position is fixated in the holding position. The blocking mechanism blocks the position assurance element in the open position and has a release element with which the blocking mechanism is released in a state of the connector housing and the mating housing being plugged together.

  • Patent number: 6544053
    Abstract: The invention relates to a plug connector arrangement with a two-part mating halves (1, 29), in which a first mating half (1) can be joined to a second mating half (29) via a plug-in control (7). The plug-in control (7) has a lever arm (2) pivotally mounted on a mating half (1) that controls a gearing region (9, 36, 37), forcibly actuating the mating halves (1, 29). The lever arm (2) is provided on one side on the mating half (1) and in addition to its pivot movement (8) is mounted via a pivot support (10) on the mating half (1) to ensure that the mating halves and the electrical connections are securely joined, despite simple construction, whereby the invention may be used in as many different ways as possible.
