Abstract: A plug part for a plug-in connection, in particular of optical conductors, includes a plug housing, in which a plug insert having at least one plug pin for receiving a conductor is arranged. The plug part can be inserted into a correspondingly designed socket part in an insertion direction (A), and includes a locking means for releasably locking the plug part in the socket part. The plug part further has an unlocking means, by means of which the locking of the locking means to the socket part can be released. The plug part includes a protective apparatus for protecting the end face of the plug pin and for moving from a closed position with a covered end face to an open position with an exposed end face by inserting the plug part into the socket part by interacting with the socket part.
