Abstract
The invention specifies a scoop-proof plug connector system having a connector (1) which has a pair of contact sockets (66, 67) situated in the plug-in projection (3) and a connector housing (2), a mating connector for an igniter, which has a pair of contact pins (51, 52) situated in one plane for insertion into the contact sockets (66, 67), and a coupling piece (30a, 30b) which is situated in the mating connector and has a recess (34), which is complementary to the plug-in projection (3) and an essentially cylindrical sleeve (31). At least one guide shoulder (35, 36; 43, 44) which runs parallel to the insertion direction and essentially over the full height of the sleeve (31) and which projects above the contact pins (51, 52) is integrally formed in the recess (34).
