Abstract
The invention relates to a connecting part of a two-part plug-and-socket connection, the housing of which has at least two axial housing chambers lying next to each other in pairs, between which there is an axial partition. The housing chambers serve respectively to receive electrical contact parts, which, in their defined end position, extend as far as a coupling portion of the housing, which can be plugged-in with a complementary coupling portion of the other connecting part forming part of the plug-and-socket connection. In order to obtain a space-saving connecting part in which a slide displaying blocking elements locks the inserted contact parts in their end position within the housing chambers, it is proposed to configure the slide from a detachable segment of the axial partition and to configure the blocking elements for the locking from radial projections on this partition element. The housing possesses between its two housing chambers an axial recess for axial plug-in fitting of this partition segment, which recess is open in the direction of the coupling portion of the housing.
