Abstract
In order to latch a separable plug-type connection that is composed of an upper housing part and a lower housing part with an axially displaceable unlatching ring that encompasses the upper housing part, the invention proposes to provide the unlatching ring with actuating tabs that act upon latching elements arranged between the upper housing part, the lower housing part and the unlatching ring. When pressure is exerted upon the actuating tabs, the latching mechanism is released first and the interlocking mechanism is released when the connection is separated.
