Claim:
A coaxial plug comprising: a housing; a plug-side end for connection to a BNC coaxial socket which has two BNC pins of a bayonet fitting; and a cable-side end for connection to an RF transmission line, in particular a coaxial cable, wherein said housing of the coaxial plug includes: two slots which are arranged opposite, run in an axial direction starting from the plug-side end of the coaxial plug and are each arranged with and designed to hold a BNC pin such that said slots each form an axial stop for said BNC pin; and a latching fork being arranged on the housing of the coaxial plug including two latching tines, with each latching tine engaging tangentially over said axial slot in the housing of the coaxial plug, between the stop and the plug-side end of the coaxial plug, such that, when said coaxial plug is plugged onto the BNC coaxial socket, said BNC pin is in each case held firmly between said latching tine and said stop of the axial slot, and a locked connection is produced between the coaxial plug and the BNC coaxial socket, with the latching fork being arranged such that it can pivot on the housing of the coaxial plug and having the capability to pivot between a locking position, in which the latching tines tangentially cover the axial slots, and a release position in which the latching tines release the axial slots over their entire length, such that the BNC pins can be inserted into the axial slots in the axial direction and can be pulled out of them in the axial direction.
