Abstract

The invention proposes an interlocking device for a two-part plug connector housing that is composed of two punched and bent one-piece interlocking elements in connection with an exchangeable actuating handle. In this case, the interlocking elements feature a clip-on side, by means of which they are engaged in the actuating handle, and an interlocking side that is realized in the form of a C-shaped spring element, rotably held on a pivot pin of the lower plug connector housing half and can be interlocked on a locking pin of the upper plug connector housing half.
