Abstract:
The disclosure relates to an electrical connector comprising a plug element with a longitudinal axis, said plug element having a plug housing with a circular cross-section and a coupling ring arrangement mounted rotatably about the longitudinal axis, wherein at least one guide lug which projects radially inward is arranged on the inner circumferential face of the coupling ring arrangement, and a socket element with a longitudinal axis, said socket element having a socket housing with a circular cross-section for accommodating the plug housing, wherein, on the outer circumferential face of the socket housing, at least one spiral-shaped guide groove is disposed for receiving the at least one guide lug of the coupling ring arrangement, and wherein, at the end of the at least one guide groove, an end position for the at least one guide lug of the coupling ring arrangement is disposed.

Claim (Index 1):
An electrical connector comprising:\n a plug element with a longitudinal axis, said plug element having a plug housing with a circular cross-section and a coupling ring arrangement mounted rotatably about the longitudinal axis, wherein at least one guide lug which projects radially inward is arranged on the inner circumferential face of the coupling ring arrangement; and a socket element with a longitudinal axis, said socket element having a socket housing with a circular cross-section configured to accommodate the plug housing, wherein at least one spiral-shaped guide groove configured to receive the at least one guide lug of the coupling ring arrangement is disposed on an outer circumferential face of the socket housing, and wherein an end position for the at least one guide lug of the coupling ring arrangement is disposed at an end of the at least one guide groove, wherein the coupling ring arrangement comprises:\n an internal coupling ring which is mounted to the plug housing and configured such that it can be rotated about the longitudinal axis of the plug housing and is substantially fixed in the direction of the longitudinal axis, and wherein the internal coupling ring comprises at least one guide lug that is disposed on an internal circumferential face of the internal coupling ring and projects radially inward, \n an external coupling ring which is mounted to the internal coupling ring, wherein the external coupling ring is configured such that it is substantially fixed from being rotated about the longitudinal axis of the plug housing, and can be moved along its longitudinal axis between a release position and a latching position, \n the coupling ring arrangement configured such that:\n in the release position, the coupling ring arrangement is rotatable relative to the plug housing about the longitudinal axis of the plug housing, \n in the latching position, rotation of the coupling ring arrangement relative to the plug housing is blocked, and \n the external coupling ring is movable into the latching position at least when the at least one guide lug is in the end position.
