the housing parts 2, 4 corresponding passages 5 and 6 with one another are aligned. The passages 5 contain socket contacts 7, which are also located on the rear side of the housing part 2 outgoing lines are connected, as shown in Fig. 1, and the passages 6 contain plug-in contacts 8, the lines leading out from the rear of the housing part »4 connected bind. The plug contacts 8 protrude within a Haubenabechnitts 9 of the housing part ^ 4, so dafi at Engaging a TorderabSchnitts de «housing parts 2 in the Hood section 9 the protruding parts of the plug contact 8 enter corresponding beech contacts 7.

The plug housing part 2, which contains the socket contact 7, has, transversely to the connection direction of the housing part © 2, 4, a generally rectangular cross-section and has a front section 10 which fits exactly into the hood section 9 of the housing part 4. Behind the section 10, the housing part 2 has at its upper uai. Underside of arms 11, 12 existing ctreben-like arrangements suf mr releasable fastening of the housing part in an opening 15 of a plate, as shown in FIG. Each beam-like arrangement consists of a pair of arms 11 extending laterally to and have rearwardly and outwardly inclined eu an integral with respect to the ferbindungsrichtung a distance from each other so that _t the two arms 11 connecting strips 12 extend. A further arm 11 extends backwards from a central section of the connection strip * 12 and inwards, in the direction of the side of the housing part 2 with which it is formed in one piece.

The socket housing part 4 is designed in a similar way with strut-axed arrangements H ¹ , 12 'on its upper and lower sides behind the hood section 9.

When mounted in a panel, each of the connector parts can be placed in a panel opening, the Plate according to the Pig. 3 or 2 is arranged, and where the

In addition, the housing parts 2 and 4 are provided with complementary locking devices on their side surfaces, to releasably lock the housing parts together. The housing part 2 is integral with one on each side Arm 16 is formed, which extends in the longitudinal direction in the Genäuseverbindungsrichtung extends and between its front and rear ends has a lug 17 which the arm attached to the exterior. Each arm 16 is pivotable by bending the lug and pushing the rear ends of the Arms 16 inward, the front ends are facing simultaneously outside, moved. Each arm is on the housing part 2 facing Side provided with a recess at 18, wherein the recess terminates behind the front end of the arm and an outer, rearward-facing locking shoulder

The socket housing part is integral with each side an arm 20 is formed, which extends in the longitudinal direction to the housing connection direction extends and at its rear end with a lying behind the hood section 9 section the housing is connected by means of a one-piece .mit this connected before jump 21, which serves to keep the arm of the housing to the outside at a distance. Every arm

20 extends to the front end of the Haubenab sections 9, and «Wipe the front ends of the arms 20 bind parts of the hood cut 9 cut out to form recesses 22 into which the front ends of the arms are pressed can. The recesses 22 are wider than the arms 20, but narrower than the arms 16, so that the arms during operation 16 close the recesses 22. The perishing of the poor

If “te” the connector housing part 2 in an opening in a Plate is arranged, it is evident from Figs. 3 to 5, that the rear ends of the arms 16 from the rear of the housing part 2 are not accessible to be compressed to become. In this state, the connected Housing part «2, 4 reached from the other side of the plate are squeezed together by the locking arms 20 by hand will. When the housing part 4, as Figo 2 shows, in a plate is arranged, the release of the locking device are accordingly effected by squeezing the rear ends of the locking arms 16 together by hand.

It can be seen from this that each housing part is in an opening can be arranged in a plate without affecting the easily releasable lock.
