The invention relates to an electric buckle (16) comprising a frame (14) with an insertion slit (22) for inserting a tongue (15) of a safety belt device, and a locking element (6), which is moveable from a locking position, in which the tongue (15) is locked, to a releasing position, in which the tongue (15) is released, and vice versa, wherein the locking element (6) engages in the locking position into a recess of the frame (14) and a recess (24) of a locking section (23) of the tongue (15), wherein an electric actuator (1) is provided, which initiates the movement of the locking element (6) when activated. The locking element (6) is designed to be ring-shaped with a central opening (26) through which the tongue (15) extends with its locking section (23), wherein a connecting element (2) is provided, which transfers the driving movement of the electric actuator (1) to a rotational movement of the locking element (6) around a rotation axis running in parallel to the insertion direction of the tongue (15) with moving the locking element (6) from the released position to the locked position and vice versa.
