ABSTRACT:
Securing mechanisms are employed in known plug connections, which have components designed in a complicated way, the manufacture and assembly of which entails high cost and which result in bulky plug connectors. The plug connection in accordance with the invention is designed in such a way that a securing ring (18) formed in one piece on a second part (11) has stop shoulders (29) which, for securing the plug connection, grip, stationary detents (46) of a first part (41). The securing ring (18) has the shape of a convexly closed polygon (24), the corner points (26) of which have a reduced wall thickness in comparison with the polygon lines (27). The polygon lines (27) can be kinked at the corner points (26) by means of squeezing pressure forces acting on the securing ring (18), which allows the disconnection of the securing of the plug connection. This results in a plug connection of low mass which can be manufactured in a cost-effective manner. This plug connection is preferably employed in motor vehicles which are subject to oscillation increases during operation.
