Abstract
An electrical plug connector includes a housing being formed of insulating material and having at least one contact chamber. A contact element is to be inserted in the at least one contact chamber in a given plugging direction. A locking device for the contact element is movable transversely to the given plugging direction, is formed of insulating material and is constructed as a slide. The locking device is transversely moveable between an initial detent position permitting the contact element to be inserted into the at least one contact chamber, and a final detent position locking the contact element. The housing and the locking device are formed from a thermoplastic synthetic having the same or different properties and are produced by multicomponent injection molding with the housing being injection molded directly on the slide.
