Abstract
An electric plug-and-socket device having a fixation device and having a closed position of the plug-and-socket device that is discernable readily from the outside and is securable. The plug-and-socket device, which is composed of a first plug connector and a second plug connector which can be joined to it, is provided with a control slide mounted on the first plug connector as part of the fixation device. This control slide is convertable from an unlocked position in which it assumes a first position with respect to a mark to a locked position in which it assumes a second position with respect to the mark only when the two plug connectors have been joined completely. The closed position of the plug-and-socket device is discernable readily by the second position of the control slide with respect to the mark and is additionally securable by the control slide.
