Abstract
A plug and socket device includes at least one housing and one base plate for accommodating the at least one housing. The housing has a base body and at least two locking means. The locking means each have an elongated locking arm and a locking hook. The base plate has at least one locking nose corresponding to the locking means. The locking nose is formed such that in the fully plugged-in position of the housing and the ground plate the locking hook engages behind the locking nose such that a positive locking is established between the locking means and the locking nose, and unintentional detachment of the plug and socket device is difficult. The base plate has at least one securing element that prevents the detachment of the locking hook and thus serves to secure the position of the locking means in the fully plugged-in position.
