HOUSING ASSEMBLY, CONNECTOR AND CONNECTION DEVICE

A housing assembly (1) for a connector (2) comprises a contact housing (4) and a shield element (6), wherein the contact housing (4) comprises a contact chamber (24) for receiving a contact unit (12) of the connector (2), a latching section (52) which is movable between a latching position (54) and a release position (56) and which is configured in the latching position (54) to enter into a latching connection (58) with the contact unit (12) to be received, a blocking section (66) which is connected to the latching section (52) in a motion-transmitting manner, and a shield receptacle (34) which is configured to receive at least in part the shield element (6), where the blocking section (66) projects at least in part into the shield receptacle (34) when the latching section (52) is located in its release position (56). As long as the latching section (52) does not in its latching position (54) enter into the latching connection (58), the blocking section (66) then blocks the shield receptacle (34). Consequently, the shield element (6) cannot be inserted into the shield receptacle (34), whereby a TPA function is implemented. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a connector (2) as well as to a connection device (22).
