Abstract:
An apparatus (2) for vibrationproof locking of a plug (3) in its plugged-in position inside a unit, which encompasses a housing (4) that has a housing top shell (16) and a housing bottom shell (6) by means of at least one locking element (30) that engages the plug (3), characterized in that the locking element (30) has a blocking section (52), which is kept in a blocking position by the plug (3) when the plug is not completely plugged in and prevents the housing shells (6, 16) from being joined, and can be brought into a position that permits the housing shells (6, 16) to be joined only when the plug (3) is completely plugged in, and only when the plug (3) is completely plugged in, is a section (44) of the plug (3) flush with an associated section (46) of the locking element (30) and only then can the locking element (30) be moved relative to the housing (4) into a locking position in which the section (44) of the plug (30) is overlapped by the associated section (46) of the locking element (30) in order to secure the plug (3) in the plugged-in position.
