Abstract
A cable harness plug for establishing an electric connection to a plug strip. The cable harness plug includes a housing, contact elements arranged in the housing and at least one lock. The cable harness plug includes at least two different types of contacts, and a lock is assigned to each type of contact. A lock includes at least one locking plate covering at least one area of one type of contact and includes a locking element which, by insertion into cable harness plug, converts locking plate to the locked position in the one area of type of contact and at the same time activates the lock which is assigned to the other types of contacts. This allows for production of secondary lock for different types of contacts of a cable harness plug simultaneously by using a single locking element.
