Abstract

A contact housing for an electrical plug connection, having a plurality of contact chambers for accommodating in each case a contact element that is able to be plugged into the contact chamber through an assembly opening, having in each case a latching element, that extends laterally into the contact chamber, for the primary latching of the contact element which is pushed, up to its end position, into the contact chamber, and having in each case a locking element that is guided shiftably transversely to the plug-in direction of the contact element between two adjacent contact chambers, for the secondary locking of the contact element that is primarily latched in the one contact chamber, the locking element laterally extending into the one contact chamber using a locking projection in the locking position, and forming a guidance area of the other contact chamber on its side facing away from the locking projection. The guidance area of the locking element extends farther in the plug-in direction than the locking projection, and forms a contact area for a contact element that is primarily latched in the other contact chamber.
