Abstract
Traditional embodiments of cable harness connectors also have, in addition to a locking slide, a locking claw, arranged in a U shape over a connector housing of a cable harness connector, and the two locking elements assume both open and closed positions. To permit more advantageous manufacture of such cable harness connectors, the function of the locking claw is integrated into a cover of the cable harness connector, which is placed on the connector housing, so that the cover and the other locking unit are combined, this function having previously been implemented by the locking claw. Therefore, the cover and the second locking mechanism are designed as a one-piece part.
