Abstract

The connector pin (2) is protected by a lid (6) which is opened into the sleeve portion (3) when the plug portion (1) is slid in linearly. For this purpose, a sleeve portion is provided with a control path, for example in the form of guide grooves (30), which coordinates with the cover (6). When withdrawing the plug portion (1), the lid (6) is once again closed with the aid of the control path.
