Abstract: A connector including a base element extending along a longitudinal axis from a proximal end, configured to be interconnected to a cable, to a distal end, configured to mate with a mating connector. The connector includes an outer sleeve arranged circumferentially around the base element and moveable between an unlocked position and a locked position, or vice versa. A spring element includes a first end interconnected to the base element and a second end engageable with the mating connector. The outer sleeve axially moves from the unlocked position to the locked position, in which the outer sleeve acts on the spring element so that the second end of the spring element engages with the mating connector for holding the mating connector in a mated state against a pull-out force. The outer sleeve rotates around the longitudinal axis to be axially secured in the locked position.

Abstract: A connector includes a housing, which extends along a longitudinal axis lying in the plug-in direction and which is divided into an electric connector part and a locking device located next to the electric connector part for the releasable locking of the connector with a corresponding counterpart. The locking device includes a detent bracket that is held in a receiving chamber of the housing, that extends in the plug-in direction, and can be elastically deflected perpendicularly to the plug-in direction. The detent bracket is elastically deflected perpendicularly to the plug-in direction by an actuating element mounted on the housing in order to be disengaged. A compact construction is achieved because the actuating element lies adjacent to the detent bracket perpendicularly to the plug-in direction and the length of the actuating element in the plug-in direction is less than or approximately equal to the length of the detent bracket.
