Das automatische Zusammenstecken des Steckers mit dem Gegenstecker beim Zusammenfügen der Bauteile wird sichergestellt, wenn die beiden zusammenzufügenden Bauteile zwangsgeführt sind.The automatic mating of the plug with the mating connector when assembling the components is ensured when the two components to be joined together are forced.

Damit der Stecker und der Gegenstecker auch nach der Montage nicht mehr unbeabsichtigt getrennt werden können, können die beiden Bauteile in ihrer Endposition arretiert werden.So that the plug and the mating connector can not be unintentionally disconnected even after assembly, the two components can be locked in their final position.

Bevorzugter Weise kann der Stecker an einem Getriebedeckel oder an einem Getriebe und der Gegenstecker an einer Karosserie angeordnet sein. An dem Getriebe oder an dem Getriebedeckel kann ein Wischermotor montiert sein, so dass der Wischermotor mit der erfindungsgemäßen Steckverbindung an ein Bordnetz eines Kraftfahrzeuges angeschlossen wird. Die erfindungsgemäße Steckverbindung eignet sich jedoch auch für einen Kleinmotor eines Fensterhebers, eines Sitzverstellers, eines Türschließers, eines Gurtspanners oder dergleichen.The plug can preferably be arranged on a gear cover or on a gear and the mating plug on a body. A wiper motor can be mounted on the gearbox or on the gearbox cover, so that the wiper motor with the plug connection according to the invention is connected to an electrical system of a motor vehicle. However, the connector according to the invention is also suitable for a small motor of a window regulator, a seat adjuster, a door closer, a belt tensioner or the like.

Das an dem Wischermotor angeordnete Getriebe kann in eine in der Karosserie angeordnete Öffnung einschiebbar sein, so dass der an dem Getriebedeckel angeordnete Stecker mit dem an der Karosserie angeordneten Gegenstecker zusammensteckbar ist. Auf diese Weise können der Stecker und der Gegenstecker automatisch zusammengesteckt werden, wenn der Wischermotor an die Karosserie montiert wird.The arranged on the wiper motor gear can be inserted into an opening arranged in the body, so that the arranged on the gear cover connector is mated with the arranged on the body mating connector. On In this way, the plug and the mating connector can be automatically plugged together when the wiper motor is mounted to the body.

In einer anderen Ausführungsform können am Getriebe Rastelemente zum Einrasten in der Karosserie vorgesehene Öffnungen vorgesehen sein, wobei das Getriebe durch eine Schwenkbewegung in die Karosserie einrastbar ist, wodurch auch der am Getriebe angeordnete Stecker mit dem an der Karosserie angeordneten Gegenstecker zusammensteckbar ist. Auch bei dieser Ausführungsform kann der separate Arbeitsgang zum Zusammenstecken des Steckers mit dem Gegenstecker entfallen.In another embodiment, latching elements may be provided for latching in the body openings provided on the transmission, wherein the transmission can be latched by a pivoting movement in the body, whereby the arranged on the transmission connector with the arranged on the body mating connector is plugged together.
