Abstract

An electrical plug-in connector with a casing, with a lever rotatably mounted on the casing. The lever has a guideway provided for guiding a guide element of a second casing, with the guide element being guided in the guideway upon rotation of the lever and the second casing being pulled from a pre-assembly position with regard to the casing into an end position. The casing has a flexible blocking element, an insertion space for introducing the guide element into the guideway being provided, the blocking element having an actuating surface, the actuating surface in a rest position of the blocking element projecting into the insertion space. The lever has a blocking surface, the blocking element having a second blocking surface, with, in a rest position of the lever and in a rest position of the blocking element, the second blocking surface of the blocking element being associated with the blocking surface of the lever and blocking a movement of the lever from the rest position into an end position.
