Abstract
An electrical connector plug comprising a connector housing (1) with at least a first locking element (7, 8, 44) that is rigid and a counter-connector housing (2) which is complementarily to the connector housing (1) with at least a second locking element that is resilient (15, 53) and a spring element (25,55) for increasing a spring force and together with the first and second locking elements (7, 8, 15, 44, 53) define an unstable swell point. Furthermore, during movement of the counter-connector housing (2) in the direction of insertion (F) into the connector housing (1), the first locking element (7, 8, 44) presses so strongly against the second locking element (15, 53), that the spring element (25, 55) located in the second locking element (15, 53) builds up a tension with the swell point being reached by using tension from the spring element (25, 55).
