Abstract

A coaxial plug-and-socket connection comprising a socket part and a pin part with releasable interlocking of the two parts, wherein during the insertion process a spring element on one of the two connection parts, which is independent of the interlocking element, exerts an axial resistance and repels the other connection part so long as the interlocking device is not effectively latched, it is proposed to provide the parts of the plug-and-socket connection with sleeves which are insertable one into the other, outwardly directed spring detent hooks being provided on the sleeve of the pin part, and to provide an interlock deactivating sleeve which acts upon the detent hooks and enables an intentional deactivation of the interlock of the plug-and-socket connection.
