Abstract
The present invention relates to an electrical plug connector assembly comprising a first connector (2), a second connector (29), a third connector (3) and a fourth connector (33). The first and the second connector (2, 29) form a first pair of connectors. The third and the fourth connector (3, 33) form a second pair of connectors. The first connector (2) and the third connector (3) are arranged on a housing (1). A locking element (7) is provided on the housing (1). The locking element (7) is configured as a slide and is displaceably mounted on the housing (1). In a starting position, the locking element (7) blocks at least partially an insertion opening (15) on the housing (1) for inserting the fourth connector (33) into the third connector (3). The second connector (29) has a guide bolt (30). The locking element (7) has guide surface (37, 52). On connection of the second connector (29) to the first connector (2), the guide bolt (30) acts on the guide surface (37) to urge the locking element (7) into a release position. In the release position, the locking element (7) clears the insertion opening (15) for connecting the fourth connector (33) to the third connector (3).
