Description

Beschreibungdescription

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Halterahmen nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a holding frame according to the preamble of claim 1.

Derartige Halterahmen dienen zur Halterung von Steckverbindermodulen, wobei der Halterahmen mit verschiedenen Steckverbindermodulen bestückt und anschließend in ein Steckverbindergehäuse eingesetzt und in diesem befestigt wird. Dabei muss der Halterahmen mechanisch stabil sein, um den auftretenden Steck- und Ziehkräften beim Zusammenfügen bzw. Trennen der Steckverbindung standhalten zu können.Such holding frames are used to hold connector modules, the holding frame being equipped with various connector modules and then inserted into a connector housing and fastened therein. The holding frame must be mechanically stable in order to be able to withstand the plugging and pulling forces that occur when joining or disconnecting the plug connection.

Halterahmen dieser Art können auch, statt in ein Steckverbindergehäuse eingesetzt, an einer Gehäuse- oder Gerätewand angeschraubt werden. So ist eine Kontaktierung und/oder Verbindung von Leitern durch die Gehäuse- oder Gerätewand realisierbar.Holding frames of this type can also be screwed onto a housing or device wall instead of being inserted into a connector housing. A contact and / or connection of conductors through the housing or device wall can be realized.

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Die US 2009/269977 A1 zeigt einen zweiteiligen Halterahmen zur formschlüssigen Fixierung verschiedenartiger Steckverbinder.The US 2009/269977 A1 shows a two-part holding frame for the positive fixing of different types of connectors.

Die US 2012/0244730 A1 zeigt einen Halterahmen für eine Gerätebuchse mit an gegenüberliegenden Wandteilen vorgesehenen Ausnehmungen, wobei der Halterahmen mehrteilig ausgeführt ist.The US 2012/0244730 A1 shows a holding frame for a device socket with recesses provided on opposite wall parts, wherein the holding frame is made in several parts.

Die US 6,699,060 B1 zeigt einen zweiteiligen Schutzrahmen zur Verhinderung einer ungewollten Trennung einer Steckverbindung.The US 6,699,060 B1 shows a two-part protective frame to prevent unwanted disconnection of a connector.

Die DE 197 07 120 C1 zeigt einen Halterahmen zur Halterung von Steckverbindermodulen. Die Steckverbindermodule sind in den Halterahmen eingesetzt, wobei Halterungsmittel an den Steckverbindermodulen mit an gegenüberliegenden Wandteilen des Halterahmens vorgesehenen Ausnehmungen zusammenwirken und die Steckverbindermodule formschlüssig in dem Halterahmen halten.The DE 197 07 120 C1 shows a holding frame for holding connector modules. The connector modules are in the holding frame used, holding means on the connector modules interact with recesses provided on opposite wall parts of the holding frame and hold the connector modules in a positive manner in the holding frame.

Aus der DE 298 12 500 U1 ist ein Halterahmen zur Halterung von Steckverbindermodulen mit zwei Verriegelungselementen bekannt.From the DE 298 12 500 U1 a holding frame for holding connector modules with two locking elements is known.

EP 2 312 700 A1 zeigt ebenfalls einen Halterahmen mit zwei Sperrelementen. EP 2 312 700 A1 also shows a holding frame with two locking elements.

Nachteilig an den aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Halterrahmen wirkt sich aus, dass bei einem nicht vollständig bestückten Halterahmen die Steckverbindermodule, welche vom Halterahmen aufgenommen sind, ein gewisses Spiel aufweisen.A disadvantage of the holder frame known from the prior art is that if the holding frame is not fully equipped, the connector modules which are accommodated by the holding frame have a certain amount of play.

Dieses Spiel basiert von der Toleranz von Halterungsmitteln der Steckverbindermodule zu den Ausnehmungen am Halterahmen, in welche sie eingesetzt werden. Da diese Halterungsmittel relativ klein im Vergleich zur gesamten Größe der Steckverbindermodule sind, ergibt sich eine große Hebelkraft auf die Halterungsmittel.This game is based on the tolerance of the mounting means of the connector modules to the recesses on the mounting frame in which they are used. Since these holder means are relatively small compared to the overall size of the connector modules, there is a large leverage on the holder means.

Durch diese große Hebelkraft neigen einzeln in einen Halterahmen eingesetzte Steckverbindermodule zum Wackeln. Nur bei einem vollständig bestückten Halterahmen stützen sich die Steckverbindermodule gegenseitig und sorgen für einen relativ spielfreien Sitz.Due to this great leverage, connector modules inserted individually in a holding frame tend to wobble. Only when the holding frame is fully equipped do the connector modules support each other and ensure a relatively backlash-free fit.

Auch kann ein gewisses Spiel mit der Zeit auftreten. Wenn der Steckverbinder häufig gesteckt und gelöst wird, können die Halterungsmittel - welche meist aus Plastik hergestellt sind - Verschleißerscheinungen aufweisen, welche wiederum zu einem Spiel der Module im Halterahmen sorgen.There may also be some play over time. If the connector is plugged and unplugged frequently, the mounting means - which are usually made of plastic - can show signs of wear, which in turn cause the modules in the mounting frame to play.

Dieses auftretende Spiel der Steckverbindermodule kann sich negativ beim Kontaktieren mit einem zweiten Halterahmen mit komplementären Steckverbindermodulen auswirken. Ein Kontaktieren und Stecken ist nur unter großen Kraftaufwand und unter hoher Reibung der Steckverbindermodule möglich.This occurring play of the connector modules can have a negative effect when contacting a second holding frame with complementary connector modules. Contacting and plugging is only possible with great effort and with high friction of the connector modules.

Diese erhöhte Reibungskraft führt zu einer schnelleren Abnutzung der Steckverbindermodule und darin gehaltener Kontakte. Im schlimmsten Falle ist gar kein Kontaktieren und Stecken möglich. Ein Ausreißen der Steckverbindermodule aus dem Halterahmen durch Zerstörungen an Halterahmen und/oder Steckverbindermodulen ist die Folge.This increased frictional force leads to faster wear of the connector modules and the contacts held therein. In the worst case, no contact and plugging is possible. The result is that the connector modules are torn out of the holding frame due to destruction of the holding frame and / or connector modules.

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht darin, einen Halterahmen so auszubilden, dass ein spielfreier Sitz von Steckverbindermodulen ermöglicht wird. Dabei sollen Steckverbindermodule der bekannten Art verwendet werden ohne diese modifizieren zu müssen.The object of the invention is to design a holding frame so that a play-free seat of connector modules is made possible. Connector modules of the known type are to be used without having to modify them.

Die Aufgabe wird durch den kennzeichnenden Teil des Anspruch 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben.The object is solved by the characterizing part of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are specified in the subclaims.

Bei der Erfindung handelt es sich um einen Halterahmen, welcher im Wesentlichen rechteckig ausgeführt ist. An gegenüberliegenden Wandteilen weißt der Halterahmen Ausnehmungen auf. Diese Ausnehmungen sind zur Aufnahme von Halterungsmitteln vorgesehen, die sich an Steckverbindermodulen befinden. Durch die Aufnahme mehrere Steckverbindermodule in dem Halterahmen wird ein sogenannter modularer Steckverbinder gebildet.The invention is a holding frame, which is essentially rectangular. The holding frame has recesses on opposite wall parts. These recesses are provided for receiving holding means, which are located on connector modules. A so-called modular connector is formed by accommodating a plurality of connector modules in the holding frame.

Erfindungsgemäß besteht der Halterahmen aus zwei zusammensetzbaren Einzelteilen: einer Rahmenbasis und einem auf die Rahmenbasis aufsetzbaren Sicherungsrahmen.According to the invention, the holding frame consists of two assembled individual parts: a frame base and a securing frame that can be placed on the frame base.

Erfindungsgemäß besteht der Sicherungsrahmen aus zwei einzelnen Teilen, die zusammen den Sicherungsrahmen bilden. Insbesondere sind die Teile in einer besonderen Ausführungsform gleichartig ausgeführt. Diese können so hermaphroditisch zusammengesetzt werden und den Sicherungsrahmen bilden.According to the security frame consists of two individual parts that together form the security frame. In particular, in a special embodiment, the parts are of the same design. These can be assembled hermaphroditically and form the safety frame.

In einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung dieser Ausführungsform sind an den Teilen, welche den Sicherungsrahmen bilden, Rastmittel vorgesehen. Diese Rastmittel dienen dazu die Teile zusammenzuhalten. Nur durch einen erhöhten Kraftaufwand ist der Sicherungsrahmen so in seine zwei Teile zerlegbar. Dies ist vor allem bei der Montage und Demontage hilfreich.In an advantageous embodiment of this embodiment, latching means are provided on the parts which form the securing frame. These locking means serve to hold the parts together. Only with increased effort is the securing frame in its place two parts can be dismantled. This is particularly helpful for assembly and disassembly.

Die in den Wandteilen des Halterahmens vorgesehenen Ausnehmungen liegen erfindungsgemäß zumindest teilweise in einer Trennebene, welche von der Rahmenbasis und dem Sicherungsrahmen definiert wird.According to the invention, the recesses provided in the wall parts of the holding frame lie at least partially in a parting plane which is defined by the frame base and the securing frame.

Dabei können die Ausnehmungen sich vollständig in einem der Halterahmenteile befinden und von dem zweiten Halterahmenteil geschlossen werden. Jedoch ist ebenso denkbar, einen Teil der Ausnehmungen in der Rahmenbasis und einen zweiten Teil der Ausnehmungen im Sicherungsrahmen vorzusehen. Eine Mischform der beiden Ausführungsformen in einem Halterahmen ist ebenso denkbar.The recesses can be located completely in one of the holding frame parts and can be closed by the second holding frame part. However, it is also conceivable to provide a part of the recesses in the frame base and a second part of the recesses in the securing frame. A mixed form of the two embodiments in a holding frame is also conceivable.

Durch diese, einseitig offene Ausführung der Ausnehmungen können diese kleiner als die Halterungsmittel von Steckverbindermodulen dimensioniert sein. Beim Zusammenfügen von Rahmenbasis und Sicherungsrahmen wird so ein Schlitz zwischen den Halterahmenteilen gebildet.Due to this design, which is open on one side, the recesses can be dimensioned smaller than the holding means of connector modules. When the frame base and securing frame are joined together, a slot is formed between the holding frame parts.

Die Ausnehmungen müssen nicht zwingend die gesamte Materialstärke des Halterahmens durchdringen. Auch ist denkbar die Ausnehmungen nur teilweise vom Inneren des Halterahmens in das Material zu formen. Ohne dabei die Wandteile des Halterahmens vollständig zu durchdringen.The recesses do not necessarily have to penetrate the entire material thickness of the holding frame. It is also conceivable to only partially shape the recesses from the inside of the holding frame into the material. Without completely penetrating the wall parts of the holding frame.

In einer Ausführungsform ist mittels Aufnahmemitteln an Rahmenbasis und Sicherungsrahmen ein Zusammenfügen dieser möglich. Durch den - wie zuvor beschriebenen - Schlitz können die Halterungsmittel von Steckverbindermodulen zwischen Rahmenbasis und Sicherungsrahmen verspannt werden.In one embodiment, the frame base and securing frame can be joined together by means of receiving means. Through the slot - as described above - the holder means of connector modules can be clamped between the frame base and the securing frame.

So bewirkt die Erfindung einen sicheren, spielfreien Sitz von Steckverbindermodulen im Halterahmen.Thus, the invention brings about a secure, play-free fit of connector modules in the holding frame.

In einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform sind die Ausnehmungen im Halterahmen trapezförmig ausgeführt. Dabei sind die Ausnehmungen im Bereich des Sicherungsrahmens breiter als im Bereich der Rahmenbasis. Dadurch werden die Halterungsmittel von Steckverbindermodulen zusätzlich im Halterahmen stabilisiert und gehalten.In an advantageous embodiment, the recesses in the holding frame are trapezoidal. The recesses in the area of the securing frame are wider than in the area of the frame base. As a result, the holder means of connector modules are additionally stabilized and held in the holding frame.

Weitere Ausführungsformen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben.Further embodiments of the invention are specified in the subclaims.

Die Figur 1 zeigt einen Halterahmen 1 nach der vorliegenden Erfindung. Dieser besteht aus einer Rahmenbasis 2 und einem Sicherungsrahmen 3. Der im Wesentlichen rechteckig ausgeführte Halterahmen 1 weißt zwei gegenüberliegende Wandteile 10 auf. In diesem Wandteilen 10 sind hier jeweils sechs Ausnehmungen 11 vorgesehen.The Figure 1 shows a holding frame 1 according to the present invention. This consists of a frame base 2 and a securing frame 3. The essentially rectangular holding frame 1 has two opposite wall parts 10. In this wall part 10 six recesses 11 are provided here.

Die Ausnehmungen 11 dienen zur Aufnahme von Halterungsmitteln 41, welche an Steckverbindermodulen 40 vorgesehen sind. Durch das Einsetzten von mindesten einem Steckverbindermodul 40 in den Halterahmen 1 wird ein modularer Steckverbinder gebildet.The recesses 11 serve to receive mounting means 41, which are provided on connector modules 40. A modular connector is formed by inserting at least one connector module 40 into the holding frame 1.

Des Weiteren weist der Halterahmen 1 einen Flansch 12 auf, mittels welchem der Halterahmen an einem Gehäuse oder Gerät montiert werden kann. Auf die genauere Ausgestaltung des Flansches 12 und der Anbringung des Halterahmen 1 an einem Gehäuse oder Gerät wird in dieser Erfindung nicht weiter eingegangen. Dies ist aus dem Stand der Technik bekannt und nicht Bestandteil dieser Erfindung.Furthermore, the holding frame 1 has a flange 12, by means of which the holding frame can be mounted on a housing or device. The precise design of the flange 12 and the attachment of the holding frame 1 to a housing or device are not dealt with further in this invention. This is known from the prior art and is not part of this invention.

In der Fig. 2 ist eine erfindungsgemäße Rahmenbasis 2 gezeigt. Dieser sind in zwei gegenüberliegende Wandteile 20 je zusammengehörige Ausnehmungen 11 eingebracht. Die Ausnehmungen 11 dienen zur Aufnahme der Halterungsmittel 41 von Steckverbindermodulen 40.In the Fig. 2 A frame base 2 according to the invention is shown. These are made in two opposing wall parts 20, each with recesses 11 that belong together. The recesses 11 serve to receive the holding means 41 of connector modules 40.

Die Ausnehmungen 11 sind gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung nur dreiseitig geschlossen, in dem Bereich der Wandteile 20 angebracht, in welchen der Sicherungsrahmen 3 angebracht wird. Somit wird mittels des Sicherungsrahmens 3 - wie auch in Fig. 1 erkennbar - die Ausnehmungen 11 auf der vierten Seite geschlossen.According to the present invention, the recesses 11 are closed only on three sides, in the area of the wall parts 20 in which the securing frame 3 is attached. Thus, by means of the securing frame 3 - as in Fig. 1 recognizable - the recesses 11 on the fourth side closed.

Ein mit der Rahmenbasis 2 zusammenfügbarer Sicherungsrahmen 3 ist in der Fig. 3 dargestellt. Dieser besteht im Wesentlichen aus einem der Rahmenbasis 2 angepasstem Grundkörper, wobei zwei gegenüberliegende Wandteile 30 die Ausnehmungen 11 der Rahmenbasis 2 schließen.A fuse frame 3 that can be joined to the frame base 2 is shown in FIG Fig. 3 shown. This essentially consists of a base body adapted to the frame base 2, two opposite wall parts 30 closing the recesses 11 of the frame base 2.

Seitlich sind am Sicherungsrahmen 3 Befestigungsmittel 35 vorgesehen. Diese dienen in Verbindung mit Befestigungsmitteln 25 - siehe Fig. 2 - der Befestigung und Fixierung von Rahmenbasis 2 und Sicherungsrahmen 3 miteinander.3 fastening means 35 are provided on the side of the securing frame. These are used in conjunction with fasteners 25 - see Fig. 2 - The attachment and fixation of the frame base 2 and securing frame 3 together.

Zweckmäßig wird die Befestigung mit Schrauben vorgenommen, da so der Abstand von Rahmenbasis 2 und Sicherungsrahmen 3 zueinander variiert werden kann. Hier sind jedoch auch andere Befestigungsmöglichkeiten denkbar, so dass sich die vorliegende Erfindung nicht auf Verschrauben beschränkt.The fastening is expediently carried out with screws, since the distance from the frame base 2 and the securing frame 3 to one another can be varied in this way. However, other fastening options are also conceivable here, so that the present invention is not limited to screwing.

Die Fig. 4 zeigt eine weitere zweckmäßige Ausführungsform des Sicherungsrahmens 3. In dieser ist der Sicherungsrahmen 3 zweiteilig ausgebildet: aus zwei Halbrahmen 34.The Fig. 4 shows a further expedient embodiment of the securing frame 3. In this, the securing frame 3 is formed in two parts: from two half frames 34.

In dieser dargestellten, besonderen Ausführungsform sind die beiden Halbrahmen 34 identisch ausgeführt. D.h. es ist ein hermaphroditisches Zusammenfügen zweiter Halbrahmen 34 möglich. Dadurch werden die zu produzierenden Teile reduziert.In this particular embodiment shown, the two half frames 34 are identical. That hermaphroditic assembly of second half frames 34 is possible. This reduces the parts to be produced.

Vorteil eines zweiteiligen Sicherungsrahmens 3 ist, dass er Sicherungsrahmen 3 auch nach Einsetzen von mehreren, schon mit Kabeln versehenen Steckverbindermodulen 40 in die Rahmenbasis 2 noch möglich ist. So können die Halbrahmen 34 um den Kabelbaum gelegt und miteinander zum Sicherungsrahmen 3 zusammengefügt werden.The advantage of a two-part securing frame 3 is that it is still possible to secure the securing frame 3 even after inserting a plurality of connector modules 40 already provided with cables into the frame base 2. The half frames 34 can thus be placed around the wiring harness and joined together to form the securing frame 3.

Zum Zusammenfügen weisen die Halbrahmen 34 jeweils ein erstes Aufnahmemittel 32 und ein zweites Aufnahmemittel 33 auf. Diese sind zusammen formschlüssig ineinandersetzbar. So ist das erste Aufnahmemittel 32 in dieser Ausführungsform als Kegelstumpf ausgeführt und in das zweite Aufnahmemittel 33 einsetzbar, welches als kegelstumpfförmige Ausnehmung ausgebildet ist. Die Aufnahmemittel 32, 33 bilden zusammen gleichzeitig die Befestigungsmittel 35 zur Befestigung des Sicherungsrahmen 3 an der Rahmenbasis 2.For assembly, the half frames 34 each have a first receiving means 32 and a second receiving means 33. These can be put together in a form-fitting manner. In this embodiment, the first receiving means 32 is designed as a truncated cone and can be inserted into the second receiving means 33, which is designed as a truncated cone-shaped recess. The receiving means 32, 33 together form the fastening means 35 for fastening the securing frame 3 to the frame base 2.

In den Fig. 5a bis 5e sind verschiedene Ausführungsformen aufgezeigt, wie die Ausnehmungen 11 im Halterahmen 1 eingebracht und positioniert werden können.In the 5a to 5e different embodiments are shown, how the recesses 11 can be introduced and positioned in the holding frame 1.

In der Fig. 5a ist die Ausnehmung 11 im Wesentlichen in der Rahmenbasis 2 eingebracht. Der Sicherungsrahmen 3 schließt die Ausnehmungen 11 an der hier oben dargestellten Seite ab. Dabei bildet sich - bedingt durch die Abmessung des aufgenommenen Halterungsmittels 41 - ein Schlitz 2/3 zwischen der Rahmenbasis 2 und dem Sicherungsrahmen 3.In the Fig. 5a the recess 11 is essentially made in the frame base 2. The securing frame 3 closes off the recesses 11 on the side shown above. A slot 2/3 forms between the frame base 2 and the securing frame 3 due to the dimension of the holding means 41 received.

In dieser speziellen Ausführungsform der Fig. 5a ist die Ausnehmung 11 zudem trapezförmig ausgebildet. Diese Trapezform dient für einen besseren, spielfreien Sitz von Halterungsmitteln 41 in der Ausnehmung 11.In this particular embodiment of the Fig. 5a the recess 11 is also trapezoidal. This trapezoidal shape serves for a better, play-free fit of holding means 41 in the recess 11.

Dabei sind auch andere Formen der Ausnehmung 11 denkbar. Lediglich müssen diese einen breiteren Bereich 11a und einen schmaleren Bereich 11b aufweisen. Dabei muss der breitere Bereich 11a am Schlitz 2/3 liegen um das Einsetzen des Halterungsmittels 41 zu ermöglichen.Other shapes of the recess 11 are also conceivable. They only have to have a wider area 11a and a narrower area 11b. The wider area 11a must lie on the slot 2/3 in order to enable the mounting means 41 to be inserted.

In der Fig. 5b ist die Ausnehmung 11 ebenso wie in Fig. 5a in der Rahmenbasis 2 vorhanden und wird vom Sicherungsrahmen 3 abgeschlossen. Im Unterschied zur Fig. 5a sind die Ausnehmungen 11 hier rechtwinklig ausgeführt.In the Fig. 5b is the recess 11 as in Fig. 5a in the frame base 2 and is completed by the security frame 3. In contrast to Fig. 5a the recesses 11 are rectangular here.

Dem gegenüber ist die Ausnehmung 11 in der Fig. 5c sowohl in der Rahmenbasis 2 als auch im Sicherungsrahmen 3 eingebracht. Diese Teil-Ausnehmungen 21, 31 bilden zusammen die Ausnehmung 11 zur Aufnahme des Halterungsmittel 41.In contrast, the recess 11 in the Fig. 5c introduced both in the frame base 2 and in the securing frame 3. These partial recesses 21, 31 together form the recess 11 for receiving the holding means 41.

In der Fig. 5d ist die Ausnehmung 11 in der Rahmenbasis 2 vorhanden, wobei die Ausnehmung 11 jedoch größer als das Halterungsmittel 41 dimensioniert ist. Dies wird hier durch eine Anformung am Sicherungsrahmen 3 im Bereich der Ausnehmung 11 ausgeglichen, um eine spielfreien Sitz der Halterungsmittel 41 zu gewähren.In the Fig. 5d the recess 11 is present in the frame base 2, but the recess 11 is dimensioned larger than the holding means 41. This is compensated here by a molding on the securing frame 3 in the region of the recess 11 in order to ensure that there is no play To grant seat of the support means 41.

In einer letzten dargestellten Ausführungsform zeigt Fig. 5e eine Ausnehmung 11 in der Rahmenbasis 2 welche zwei Halterungsmittel 41 aufnehmen kann, wobei die Halterungsmittel 41 von einer dazwischen vorgesehenen Anformung am Sicherungsrahmen 3 getrennt sind.In a last illustrated embodiment shows Fig. 5e a recess 11 in the frame base 2 which can receive two holding means 41, the holding means 41 being separated from an integrally provided molding on the securing frame 3.

Alle in den Fig. 5a bis 5e dargestellten Ausführungsformen sind auch entsprechend mit vertauschten Bezugszeichen 2 und 3 denkbar und anwendbar.All in the 5a to 5e Embodiments shown are also conceivable and applicable accordingly with interchanged reference numerals 2 and 3.

Abschließend ist in den Fig. 6a und 6b noch ein Vergleich des erfindungsmäßigen Halterahmens 1 (Fig. 6b) zu einem konventionellen Halterahmen 1 wie aus dem Stand der Technik bekannt (Fig. 6a) dargestellt.In conclusion, in the 6a and 6b another comparison of the holding frame 1 according to the invention ( Fig. 6b ) to a conventional holding frame 1 as known from the prior art ( Fig. 6a ).

Gut erkennbar ist in Fig. 6a, dass durch die erforderlichen Toleranzen des Halterungsmittels 41 ein Spiel in der Ausnehmung 1 entsteht. Dadurch ist ein Kippen des Steckverbindermoduls 40 im Halterahmen möglich ist.Is clearly recognizable in Fig. 6a that play is created in the recess 1 due to the required tolerances of the holding means 41. This makes it possible to tilt the connector module 40 in the holding frame.

Dem gegenüber ist in Fig. 6b, durch den zweiteiligen Halterahmen 1 ein Verspannen des Halterungsmittels 41 möglich. Dadurch wird ein Kippen des Steckverbindermoduls 40 im Halterahmen 1 unterbunden.The opposite is in Fig. 6b , the two-part holding frame 1 allows the holding means 41 to be braced. This prevents the connector module 40 from tilting in the holding frame 1.
