A plug connector has a housing of insulating material with at least one row of contact chambers into which contact elements can be inserted. The inserted contact elements can be secured with a securing slide which can be inserted orthogonally to a plugging direction of the plug connector into a gap of the housing. The securing slide has a primary detent edge orthogonally to the plugging direction of the plug connector, extending along two long sides of the securing slide and a segmented detent edge extending below the primary edge for secondary securing.
