ABSTRACT:
Electrical connectors having actuating slides, for connection to a second complementary connector, the actuating slide being attachable to an outer housing part of the first connector and the actuating slide interacting with the second connector, are known. The actuating slides often have a U-shaped design and are fastened to the outer housing part of the first connector. In order to ensure correct functioning of the actuating slide with the first connector, it is necessary for the actuating slide to be pushed onto the housing of the first connector from a specific direction. In order to achieve this, the outer housing part has guide means for guiding the actuating slide and the actuating slide has corresponding complementary means. The guide means and/or the actuating slide are/is configured in such a way that the actuating slide and the outer housing part can be joined together only from one side of the housing part. At its end, for example, the outer housing part has openings into which the flanks of the actuating slide can be pushed, the flanks of the actuating slide being configured with different cross sections at least at one point, such that the actuating slide can be introduced into the openings only from one side and only in a predetermined orientation.
