ABSTRACT:
An electrical plug is described, which joins together automatically from a specific position, the electrical plug consisting of two plug halves, the first plug half having at least one first electric contact and a first housing, and the second plug half having at least one second contact, which is complementary to the first contact, and a second housing, the first housing having two part-housings which are movable relative to one another in the plug-in direction, and between which a spring in a prestressed state is arranged in such a way that the part-housings can be moved towards one another counter to the spring force, the first part-housing on the plug-in face side bearing the first contact and having at least one spring arm, the second housing having at least one stop in such a way that the spring arm runs against the said stop when the two plug halves are connected. The second part-housing has at least one cam which is arranged in such a way that the cam moves the spring arm away from the stop when the first part-housing and the second part-housing are pushed together, and that the first part-housing, which is then freely movable, is inserted automatically into the second plug half by the force of the spring.
