ABSTRACT:
An electric connector, in particular between a generator and an electronic controller for inflatable motor vehicle airbags, with a connector housing for housing contact tubes with leads. In the coupling position, the connector housing lifts a jumper, disposed in a receptacle for the generator-sided plug pins, from the plug pins. To simplify the assembly and mount the connector reliably on the generator, the connector housing (1) has an assembly opening (2) which can be closed by a cover member (11) which is slidable over the assembly opening (2) and can be retained on the connector housing (1) by a pin (16), arranged in front of the cover member in the push-on direction. Guide elements (12, 13, 14, 15) are attached to the front and rear regions of the longitudinal sides, and which can be arrested at the connector housing (1) in a preclick-stop position and click-stop position by shoulders (21) on the longitudinal sides, and strip-shaped extensions (18), which reach in the click-stop position as the blocking element behind hook-shaped spring elements (19, 20), which are attached to the connector housing (1) and engage with recesses (24) of the generator (29), and prevent a return swing of the spring elements.
