Abstract
The apparatus (2) for vibrationproof locking of a plug (3) in its plugged-in position inside a unit, in particular inside a clutch actuator (1), encompasses a housing (4) that has a housing top shell (16) and a housing bottom shell (6), by means of at least one locking element (30) that engages the plug (3). The locking element (30) has a blocking section (52), which is kept in a blocking position by the plug (3) when this plug is not completely plugged in—thus preventing the housing shells (6) from being joined—and which can be brought into a position that permits the housing shells (6) to be joined only when the plug (3) is completely plugged in.
