Furthermore, the cover member 5 is preferably removably fixed to the holding device.
  • the presence of the cover member 5 allows keeping the first connector element 4 in a proper connected position since withdrawal thereof from the holding device 3 is prevented by the abutment surface 50 as long as the cover member 5 is fixed to the holding device 3. Also a proper connection of the first connector element 4 can be verified by the cover member 5, which can be correctly positioned only if the first connector element 4 is connected to the holding device 3.
  • the fastening device comprises a projection 32, preferably wedge-shaped, and a receiving opening 52 for the projection 32, formed on the holding device 3 and on the cover member 5, respectively, or vice-versa.

  • a depression 53a is defined in the cover member 5 next to the opening 52a, allowing an increased flexibility of the cover member in a portion of the cover member to be locally deformed for the projection 32a to engage the opening 52a.
  • this structure allows fastening the cover member 5 to the holding device 3 by moving the former along the plugging direction P.
  • the effect of this interaction differs depending on the position of the first connector element 4.
  • the first connector element 4 although not properly or completely plugged, can be positioned aligned with the plugging direction P (e.g. when it is only partially plugged) and, in this case, the abutment surface 50 urges the first connector element 4 in a correct connected position as a consequence of the movement of the cover member 5 towards a fixing position (i.e. the one required for fixing it to the holding device).
  • the first connector element 4 is not aligned with its plugging direction P (e.g. because, in case of the plug-and-socket connection, the plug is rotated with respect to the socket) or, in general, if the first connector element cannot be plugged (e.g. because a pin of the connector is bent) then the contact between the abutment surface 50 and the respective surface 40 of the first connector element 4 (which in this case can't move in the plugging direction P) prevents the assembly of the cover member 5, thus allowing an immediate acknowledgment of the improper connection.
  • the above described interaction of the cover member 5 with the first connector element 4 can be also advantageously obtained by any movement of the cover member 5 determining a movement of the abutment surface 50 having at least a component of motion oriented along the plugging direction P.
  • the cover member can be positioned in the fixing position by rotating it. Such movement generates a corresponding rotation of the abutment surface. Since the abutment surface is advantageously positioned such that the rotation determines a movement of the abutment surface having at least a component of motion oriented along the plugging direction, also in this case either a correct connection of the first connector element can be obtained or the improper connection can be acknowledged.
  • the cover member 5 comprises wire clips 56, preferably formed by two flexible hook-shaped elements.
  • the wire clips 56 are capable of holding the wires W. In this manner wires W can be placed on the cover member 5 before fastening it to the holding device 3, thus assuring a correct positioning of the wires.
  • the clips 56 are formed on an extension 5" of the casing 5'.
  • An opening 55 is also defined on said casing 5' for allowing the passage of the wires W towards the extension 5".
  • opening 55 faces away from plugging direction P. In this manner the risk of pinching the wires W between the first connector element 4 and the abutments surface is minimized.
  • the wires W exit the casing 5' developing according a curved line. Such development of the wires W defines a bend advantageously positioned below the connector element.
  • the casing 5' of the cover member is separated from the extension 5" by a dividing wall 57, thus creating a barrier against drops of water falling from the wires W above the connector element 4.
  • the cover member 5 comprises at least two ribs 51, 51', 51", each provided with a respective abutment surface 50, 50', 50" separated therebetween.
  • the abutment surfaces 50, 50', 50" can be separated both along a direction parallel to the plugging directing and along a direction perpendicular thereto.
  • the abutment surface 50" can abut on the surface of the connector element 4 when used in a holding element having a different shape from the one of the previous embodiment.
  • Figs. 5 and 6 differs from the previous embodiment in that it comprises a first and second fastening devices formed on opposite surfaces 54, 54' of the cover member 5.
  • the second fastening device also comprises a projection 32' and a receiving opening 52' provided on a top surface 35' of the main body 3' of the holding device 3, and on a cover surface 54' of the cover member 5.
  • the receiving opening 52' is formed on a flexible flap 53' of the cover member 5.
