Electrical plug-in connection

Abstract

Abstract An electrical plug-in connection, having a first and a second connecting part (3, 4) with contacts (7, 10) which engage with one another when the plug-in connection is mated. Means are provided for securing the plug-in connection against inadvertent release, which means have a helical spring (17) allocated to the first connecting part (3) and a retaining section (16) provided on the second connecting part (4), the helical spring (17) having an internal diameter which is smaller than the external diameter of the retaining section (16) by such an extent that, when the plug-in connection is mated, said retaining section (16) can be inserted into the helical spring (17) subject to compression of the helical spring (17) and/or rotation of the ends of the helical spring (17) relative to one another counter to their direction of winding. <IMAGE>
