Abstract:
1. An electrical plug-type connector comprising: a carrier having a receptacle; a sleeve contact having a body with a contact lamination and a tensioning sleeve movable relative to the body; a housing movable relative to the carrier; a mating component having a pin configured to make contact with the sleeve contact when the mating component and the carrier are joined and the sleeve contact is received in the receptacle; a lever held by the carrier, the lever having first and second lever arms; wherein the housing and the carrier form an anti-displacement element therebetween which prevents movement of the housing relative to the carrier; wherein joining of the mating component with the carrier causes the anti- displacement element to be released and, as a result of a displacement of the housing relative to the carrier, the tensioning sleeve moves along the body and presses the contact lamination against the pin and the first lever arm displaces and connects with the mating component and the displacement of the first lever arm builds spring tension that is applied in the second lever arm, which bears against the housing, such that the second lever arm latches on the housing with a latching sound when the housing reaches an end position relative to the carrier.
