Abstract

A plug-type connection with a first plug-type connector and a second plug-type connector, wherein the plug-type connectors each have at least one electrical contact element, which electrical contact elements can be brought into contact with one another by plugging together the first plug-type connector and the second plug-type connector, and the first plug-type connector has a first locking element, with which a second locking element of the second plug-type connector can be latched with tensile and/or shear strength in a locking position of the plug-type connection, wherein the first locking element and/or the second locking element can be shifted by a shifting apparatus in the plug-in direction relative to the contact element of the associated plug-type connector into a contact position of the plug-type connection in order to make contact between the contact elements of the plug-type connectors.
