Claim:
A contact housing for an electrical plug connection, comprising: a plurality of contact chambers for accommodating in each case a contact element that is able to be plugged into the contact chamber through an assembly opening; latching elements that extend in each case laterally into the contact chamber, for a primary latching of the contact element which is pushed, up to its end position, into the contact chamber; and locking elements that, in each case, are shiftably guided transversely to a plug-in direction of the contact element between two adjacent contact chambers, for a secondary locking of the contact element that is primarily latched in the respective contact chamber, the locking element laterally extending into the respective contact chamber using a locking projection in a locking position, and forming a guidance area of the other contact chamber on its side facing away from the locking projection, the guidance area of the locking element extending farther in the plug-in direction than the locking projection, and forming a contact surface for a contact element that is primarily latched in the other contact chamber.
