ABSTRACT:
An electrical plug-type connector has primary securing means formed by an interlock mechanism comprising a primary catch edge and a stationary contact wall of the housing that interact with the first catch tongue of the contact element. The opposite, second contact chamber wall is provided on a slide member that is movable at least transversely relative to the plug-in direction, but preferably also obliquely relative thereto and has a segmented catch edge having paths for the second catch tongue to pass therealong. By moving the slide, a primary and secondary secured interlock position of both catch tongues occur as a result of engagement behind the respective catch edges. This movement will also cause a forward feed of the contact element not correctly plugged in and primarily latched.
