Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1420484A2] The connector has a blocking device which operates between a housing (12) and a slider-like coupling unit (20). The slider-like coupling unit is prevented from moving so as to assist the coupling, at least as long as a secondary locking unit (18) assumes its pre-assembled position.
