A high voltage electrical connector for electric current connections in vehicles comprising a first connector unit and a complementary second connector unit releasably connectable with the first connector unit. A primary locking member is arranged in the first connector unit, and a stationary locking part is arranged in the second connector unit, where the primary locking member is electromagnetically movable between a locked position and an unlocked position. In the locked position, the primary locking member is in locking engagement with the stationary locking part preventing the first connector unit and the second connector unit from being released from each other, and in the unlocked position the primary locking member is disengaged from the stationary locking part allowing the first connector unit and the second connector unit from being released from each other. The connector further comprises an auxiliary locking member mechanically movable between a first position and a second position, where in the first position the auxiliary locking member is in direct engagement with the primary locking member when the primary locking member is in the locked position, preventing the primary locking member from moving to the unlocked position, and in the first position the auxiliary locking member further is engaging the first connector unit and the second connector unit so that the first connector unit is prevented from being released from the second connector unit. In the second position the auxiliary locking member is disengaged from the primary locking member, allowing the primary locking member to move to the unlocked position.
