An electrical connector includes a housing, a latch arranged relative to the housing in a first direction, and a securing member arranged between the housing and the latch. The latch includes an engagement element configured to be movable in the first direction when not blocked. The securing member includes a supporting surface and a counter-engagement element. The supporting surface is configured to support the latch in the first direction. The engagement and counter-engagement elements are configured such that when the engagement and counter-engagement elements are engaged with each other, a displacement of the securing element in and against a second direction relative to the housing is constrained, and when the engagement and counter-engagement elements are disengaged from each other, the securing element is adjustable relative to the housing along the second direction.
