A lockable electrical connector is provided with two connector halves, and a locking device which includes at least one pin on one connector half and at least one receiving sleeve on the other connector half. The pin embodies an annular securing groove and the receiving sleeve is provided with a circumferentially extending slot. In the mated condition of the connector halves, a transversely displaceable slide extends through the slot in the sleeve into the securing groove in the pin to lock the connector halves together.
