Abstract

An electrical plug connector includes a housing having at least one receiver for an electrical contact, a second latching element which can be moved with respect to the housing from a pre-assembly position, in which the electrical contact can be inserted into the receiver, into an end position, in which the contact is secured in the receiver by the second latching arrangement, and a seal mounted on a spigot-like housing section. Considered in the plug-in direction, guide ribs for the seal are provided between the region of the spigot-like housing section designed to receive the seal and the second latching element adopting its pre-assembly position in order also to support the seal in the intermediate region in the event of a possible shift in the direction of the second latching element.
