Abstract
The invention relates to a connector (1) with secondary latching comprising a handle (2) for filling slots (3a, 3b) into each of which a tongue (4a, 4b) with a latch (5a, 5b) is inserted. The handle (2) engages a plug part (21) in a first position (I) in which the slots are not filled by two arms on the handle, and is mounted so as to be movable transversely to the plug axis into a position (II) in which the arms can be pressed into the slots (3a, 3b) and locked in a second position (II).Furthermore, the invention relates to a connector with a lateral cable outlet comprising a plug part (1) having an attachment (2) and an adjacent casing which is flat transversely to the direction of insertion. The cable outlet (40) has a two-part clamping device (50a, 50b) which firmly clamps the cable (46) at the outlet of the casing, and an upper hollow substantially semicylindrical groove (50a) with retaining ribs (47) is formed in an attachment (48) integral with a lid (45) of the casing and having two vertical side walls (51a, 51b). A second hollow semicylindrical clamp (49) is secured to the casing by retaining ribs (47) so as to be latchable at the insides of the side walls.
