  • a soft seal is provided to seal the coupling element, assigned to the contact surface of the coupling element is. It is also possible to use the soft seal of the contact surface to form, for example by injection or with this stick together.
  • a particularly favorable design sees two parallel support arms before, each having a breakthrough in storage for inclusion have a journal, which on the pivot axis centered trunnions from opposite surfaces protrude from the first plug element or diametrically from it, and further before that the first plug element between the two Support arms is added.
  • the bearing breakthroughs can run in a curve.
  • a hermetic seal is achieved when the coupling element is covered by a protective cap which is provided with an insertion section for inserting a Cable harness is provided.
  • the protective cap can be used the coupling element be integrally connected. This can for example by a two-component injection molding process can be achieved. Alternatively, it is possible to use the protective cap with the coupling element and in particular also the soft seal to glue.
  • a first plug-in element 1 can be seen in FIG first connection contacts 2 in a wall and has open space on one side. From the two side surfaces 5, 6, which run parallel, there are trunnions 3 at right angles, of which only one can be seen. Make both together the pivot axis 4 for the first plug-in element 1.
  • the first plug-in element 1 should have a second plug-in element 7 be coupled, which has second connection contacts 8, which is only indicated by an arrow since it is in Recording spaces of the second plug element 7 are located. It is recognizable that the connection contacts 2, 8 arranged in two rows are. Each row includes several such contacts 2 or 8. Furthermore, the second plug-in element 7 each have a recess 9 in their two side walls, only one of which is visible. Their function will be described later.
  • the second plug-in element 7 has retaining lugs 10 which serve to fix the same on the plate 11.
  • the plate 11 represents a component of a motor vehicle, for example for the A pillar to which a vehicle door is articulated, or for the frame of the vehicle door itself
  • Plate 11 has a first side 12 and one facing away from it second page 13.
  • the breakthrough runs between the two 14, which is designed here as a rectangular opening.
  • the second Plug element 7 is in the breakthrough by means of the retaining lugs 10 14 set so that it is over the first side 12 of the plate 11 stands out.
  • the first plug-in element 1 is intended to be connected to the second Plug element 7 by insertion from the second side 13 and be connected through the opening 14 in which it enters this. Because the intended number of contacts a great need for strength are supportive Measures are provided to reduce the effort required to connect minimize.
  • the coupling element 15 which is designed in a cap shape and has the two side walls 16, 17. It is a Edge provided which contains the circumferential contact surface 18, which the open area of the cap-like coupling element 15 encloses.
