Patent attributes
An electrical plug-in connection system has a first electrical plug-in connection element and a second electric plug-in connection element complementary thereto. Pertaining first and a second housings having a number of contact elements corresponding to the number of the wires in the one housing and a corresponding number of opposite contact elements in the other housing are provided. An electrical plug-in connection between the contact elements and their respective opposite contact elements can be established and released again respectively by a relative movement of the two housings. A locking connection occurs between the two housings, which can be established and detached again. A two-step operating mechanism is provided, where, during the relative movement of the two housings in a first step, a locking of the two housings takes place essentially without providing contact between the contact elements and their respective opposite contact elements, and where, during the transition into an end position as the second step, the actual providing of contact between the contact elements and their respective opposite contact elements takes place with a position-dependent increase of the contact force.
