Abstract

Connector (1) for fitting onto a counter connector (2), has a core portion (4) with a contact (3) for inserting into a sleeve (7) of the counter connector (2). The sleeve is provided with a latching step (5), and has a counter contact (6). The core portion is surrounded at a radial spacing by a collar (8), which has a latching first bead (9) for engaging over the latching step. The collar is surrounded in turn by a locking coupling (10), which in a release position allows slight radial displacement of the latching bead and in a locking position blocks the radial displacement. There is an axial continuation (11) of the collar which can escape axially in the release position and is blocked from escaping in the locking position. The continuation has a radially inner latching second bead (12).
