  • Electrical connector and plug-in connection, high voltage system and method for locking an electrical plug-in connection
    Patent number: 11688976
    Abstract: An electrical connector has a connector housing, a securing element and an actuating element movable between a home position and a locking position and which is designed to lock the electrical connector with a corresponding electrical counterpart connector. The connector housing has a locking guide for guiding the securing element between an initial position, and a securing position, wherein the securing element engages with the actuating element so that the actuating element is locked in the locking position. The securing element has a latching tab and the locking guide has a first stop for the latching tab to block the securing element in the initial position. The actuating element has a releasing body which penetrates into a recess in the locking guide to displace the latching tab of the securing element, to release the securing element.
