ABSTRACT:
A plug-in connector includes a trough-shaped socket unit and a plug unit to be fittingly inserted into the socket unit. The socket unit has a plug channel with an elongated, approximately rectangular cross section, longer longitudinal side walls and shorter transverse side walls defining the plug channel, an inner end with a bottom closing off the plug channel, and a multiplicity plug pins protruding at right angles from the bottom. The longitudinal side walls have guide segments and recesses. The plug unit has a substantially rectangular cross section with longitudinal lateral surfaces, transverse lateral surfaces and a front closure surface having insertion openings formed therein for passage of the plug pins through the insertion openings to plug sockets. The transverse lateral surfaces are guided along the transverse side walls and the longitudinal lateral surfaces are guided on the guide segments. Both of the longitudinal lateral surfaces have respective opposed safety ribs extending in an insertion direction in the vicinity of two end edges. The longitudinal side walls have complementary safety grooves in the vicinity of two end edges for receiving the safety ribs. The opposed safety ribs define a width of the plug unit greater than a greatest clear opening defined between the recesses.
