Abstract

A plug connector comprises a first plug, a second plug, and a securing device configured to mechanically secure the first plug to the second plug. The second plug has a receptacle with a ramp surface and a locking surface. The securing device has a lever pivotably mounted on the first plug. The lever pivotably bears a connecting element which has a securing cam on a free end of the connecting element. The receptacle of the second plug receives the securing cam and the ramp surface of the receptacle cooperates with the free end of the connecting element to forcibly guide the securing cam behind the locking surface of the receptacle when the first plug and the second plug are plugged together.
