Abstract: A connecting device for a plug-and-socket connection containing two connectors that includes a first part (1) with a first connector (2) and a second part (3) with a second connector (4). The first part (1) is equipped with an axle pin (5), and the second part (3) is equipped an axle bearing (6) for the axle pin (5), wherein the second part (3) is pivotable from a release position to a closed position about an axis of rotation (7) defined by the axle bearing (6), wherein the distance d1 of the center axis (16) of the first connector (2) from the axis of rotation (8) is equal to the distance d2 of the center axis (17) of the second connector (4) from the axis of rotation (8).

Abstract: The invention relates to a connecting device for a plug-and-socket connection containing two connectors, comprising a first part (1) with a first connector (2) and a second part (3) with a second connector (4). The first part (1) is equipped with an axle pin (5), and the second part (3) is equipped an axle bearing (6) for said axle pin (5), wherein said second part (3) is capable of being pivoted from a release position to a closed position about an axis of rotation (7) defined by the axle bearing (6), wherein the distance d1 of the center axis (16) of the first connector (2) from the axis of rotation (8) is equal to the distance d2 of the center axis (17) of the second connector (4) from said axis of rotation (8). In order to avoid jamming and permanent deformation during the connecting operation, the first connector (2) will always be in alignment with the second connector (4) during the pivoting operation.
