ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a male connector13for connecting to a female connector, which female connector housing has on its outer face at least one retaining projection. The male connector13comprises a male connector housing14with an elastic locking arm21with a locking strut23. The male connector13has a slider29arranged to, which is displaceably held on the male connector housing14in an axially limited way. In the locking position the slider29prevents a deflection of the locking arm21and releases the same in a position different thereto. Compression springs27, supported on the male connector housing14and on the slider29, act on the slider29for taking up its locking position. An elastic retaining element35made from round steel, is mounted on the slider29. In the relaxed condition of the spring leg37, the retaining element35contacts the end face6of the female connector housing. By means of abutting a releasing face of the male connector housing14the retaining element is brought out off contact to the end face of the female connector housing.
