    摘要: The present invention relates to a housing assembly for an electrical connector which is pluggable with a mating connector, comprising a manually movable operating element for connecting the electrical connector to the mating connector, a connector housing at which the operating element is arranged to be movable between an initial position and a final position, a securing element which is movable between a release position and a secured position, and a trigger mechanism which holds the securing element in the release position pre-stressed in the direction of the secured position, where the trigger mechanism is activated in the final position of the operating element, and the securing element is movable to the secured position, whereby the operating element is securable in the final position. Due to the trigger mechanism, the securing element can be automatically transferred from its release position to its secured position solely by moving the operating element to the final position and does not require any manual operation. The present invention furthermore relates to an electrical connector with such a housing assembly and a connector assembly with the electrical connector and the mating connector.

    摘要: An electrical connector assembly includes an electrical plug connector and a mating plug connector. The electrical plug connector includes a connector housing, and a housing interlock element movable relative to the connector housing between a pre-latched position and a final latched position. The housing interlock element includes a switching element. The mating plug connector is securable to the connector housing via the housing interlock element, and includes a receiving element adapted to receive the housing interlock element. The receiving element comprises two electrical contacts of an electrical interlock circuit. The switching element is adapted to electrically connect the two electrical contacts when the housing interlock element is moved into the final latched position.
