  • the aim of the invention is to provide a connector of the type mentioned to create the most optimal possible with a simple structure Allowing control of its respective state is permitted as well is easy to use.
  • a locking module on a first of the two connector parts generally in plug-in or guided axially and by spring force in a Plug direction is loaded in the front locking position, in which it is plugged together Connector parts with one on the other connector part provided counter-element cooperates, the locking module when plugging the two connector parts together, first counter the spring force moved out of the locked position and only at at least essentially completely assembled connector parts is released again by the spring force back into its Locking position to be pushed and with the counter element latch.
  • This training ensures that the locking of the two connector parts, which are in particular a housing lock can act, is only effective if a full contact is guaranteed.
  • the required security is also in particular blind operations performed.
  • the connector is always either active or ready to be plugged in. Regarding locking results in a kind of good-bad function, through which a high Reliability is achieved. If the two connector parts are not correct put together, so they are automatically by the spring force separated again. Only when the connector parts are correctly connected the locking module is released to then to be shifted to its locking position by the same spring force and to lock with the counter element.
  • the locking module is advantageously with a locking element provided, which is resiliently biased into a locked position in which it Put the two connector parts together on the other connector part Attachment comes to a relative displacement between the locking module and to prevent the other connector part until the two Connector parts at least essentially completely plugged together are, whereupon the locking element via an associated with the first connector part Trigger element is moved out of its locked position to release the spring-loaded locking module.
  • the trigger element can comprise a control surface on which the Put the two connector parts together with the locking element connected sliding element slides and through which the sliding element is shifted accordingly to the locking element from its locked position to move out.
  • the trigger element generally transverse to the direction of insertion between its locked position and a release position.
  • the trigger element is preferred pivotable relative to the first connector part.
  • control surface has one Inclined direction on the course.
  • the spring force loading the locking module into the locking position is advantageously by at least one between the locking module and the spring arranged on the first connector part, e.g. Compression spring, generated.
  • the locking module on the first connector part is preassembled and in its preassembly position against falling off secured by the connector part and by the spring force in its locking position is held.
  • the locking position is advantageous by at least one provided on the locking module Defines resilient stop, which is provided in a on the first connector part The guide engages and is loaded by the spring force into a locking position is in the locking module assuming its locking position abuts an end face of the guide.
  • the resilient stop expediently provided with a ramp surface, via an opening provided on the locking module a corresponding tool or the like is accessible to the To move the stop against the spring force out of its locking position and thus the locking module again from the first connector part to solve.
  • Connector at least two resilient stops are provided, arranged on opposite sides of the locking module are and in the assembled state of the locking module each engage in a guide provided on the first connector part.
  • the locking module is expediently with a latching opening provided with which the counter element when plugging the two together Connector parts locked as soon as the locking module due to the spring force returns to its locked position. It is from Advantage if the locking module has a locking opening Latch arm and the counter element comprises a projection, which at least essentially fully assembled connector parts in engages the locking opening.
  • a resilient locking arm and the projection are advantageously provided provided with a ramp surface so that the locking arm when plugging together of the two connector parts first through the ramp surface of the lead is pushed out before it goes back into his The locking position snaps back and locks with the projection.
  • the locking arm can be part of a two-armed lever, the other of which Arm is preferably provided with a corrugation. So that is special even with a blindly carried out plugging process a simple and corresponding reliable control of the respective connector status possible.
  • the connector is the one with the locking module first connector part as a plug-in part and the other connector part as a receiving part executed.
  • FIGS. 1 to 5 each have a plug connector 10 with two pluggable, interlocking connector parts 12, 14 shown. In particular, this can be an electrical connector act.
  • a locking module 16 On a first 12 of the two connector parts 12, 14, here a plug-in part, is a locking module 16 generally in the plug or axial direction S slidably guided and by spring force, for example by two between the locking module 16 and the first connector part 12 arranged compression springs 18 can be generated in a Insertion direction S front locking position (see Figures 1 and 3) loaded, in which it is with assembled connector parts 12, 14 with a on the other connector part 14, here a receiving part with a socket housing, provided counter element 20 cooperates.
  • the locking module 16 When plugging together of the two connector parts 12, 14 becomes the locking module 16 initially against the spring force from the locking position moved out (see e.g. Figures 3 and 4). Only at least essentially fully assembled connector parts 12, 14 will the locking module 16 released again by the spring force 18 to be pushed back into its locking position and with the To lock the counter element 20.
  • the locking module 16 can each be provided with a locking element 22 be resiliently biased into a locked position in which it when plugging together the two connector parts 12, 14 on the other Connector part 14 comes to rest (cf. in particular Figures 1 and 3) by a relative displacement between the locking module 16 and to prevent the other connector part 14 until the two connector parts 12, 14 at least essentially completely plugged together are. Only when this last-mentioned connector state is reached is, i.e. the two connector parts 12, 14 at least essentially are completely plugged together, the respective locking element 22nd for example via a trigger element assigned to the first connector part 12 24 moved out of its locked position, for example Locking module loaded by compression springs 18 into its locking position 16 to release.
  • the trigger element 24 can generally transversely to the direction S be relocatable between its locked position and a release position.
  • the locking module 16 is each provided with a latch opening 26, with which the counter element 20 when plugging the two connector parts together 12, 14 locked as soon as the locking module 16 due to Spring force, i.e. for example, because of the two between the locking module 16 and the first connector part 12 arranged springs 18, resumes its locking position.
  • the locking module 16 can each have a latching opening 26 have locking arm 28 and the counter element by a Projection 20 may be formed, which is at least substantially complete assembled connector parts 12, 14 engages in the locking opening 26 (see in particular Figure 5).
  • a resilient locking arm 28 and the projection are expediently provided 20 provided with a ramp surface 30 so that the resilient Latching arm 28 when the two connector parts 12, 14 are plugged together first pushed outwards by the ramp surface 30 of the projection 20 before it snaps back into its locked position and locked with the projection 20.
  • the locking arm 28 can be part of a two-armed lever 32, the other Arm 34 is preferably provided with a groove 36.
  • the locking module 16 can be preassembled on the first connector part 12 and in its preassembly position against falling off the connector part be secured.
  • the locking module is in this pre-assembly position 16 then by the spring force 18 in its locking position held.
  • the locking position for example by two on top of each other Resilient stops 38 provided on the sides of the locking module 16 be defined, each in a provided on the first connector part 12 Intervene guide 40 and loaded resiliently into an outer locking position are in the locking module occupying its lower locking position 16 bear against an end face 42 of the respective guide 40.
  • the resilient stops 38 can each have a ramp surface 44, which is provided via a respective one on the locking module 16 Opening 46 by means of an appropriate tool or the like is accessible to the respective stop 38 against it moving spring force out of its locking position and thus the locking module 16 again from the first connector part 12 to solve.
  • the triggering element can 24 comprise a control surface 48, on which the two connector parts 12, 14 connected to the locking element 22 Sliding element 50 slides along and through which the sliding element 50 correspondingly is shifted to the locking element 22 from its locked position to move out.
  • the control surface 48 can be in the direction of insertion S have an inclined course.
  • the two connector elements 12, 14 already completely plugged together, which in the present case means that the receptacle housing is fully inserted into the receptacle is. Accordingly, the locking element 22 from its locked position moved out, whereby the locking module 16 is released. In however, the locking module 16 takes this representation according to FIG still in its retracted top position.
  • FIG. 5 shows the plug connector 10 in question when the connectors are fully connected Connector parts 12, 14 and its locking position engaging locking module 16. The locking arm 28 is thus with the Projection 20 locked.
