Abstract

L'invention concerne un ensemble d'un élément de connecteur enfichable qui comprend un cadre de retenue (1) destiné à recevoir au moins un insert de contact modulaire (2). Le cadre de retenue (1) entoure une ouverture (100) dans laquelle au moins un insert de contact (20) peut être inséré, un élément de boîtier (3) qui comporte une ouverture de réception (300) dans laquelle le cadre de retenue (1) peut être inséré dans une direction d'insertion (E), et une partie de support (305) sur laquelle le cadre de support (1) est en appui dans une position insérée dans l'ouverture de réception (300). Selon l'invention, l'élément de boîtier (3) comporte une ouverture de verrouillage (30) et le cadre de retenue (1) comporte un dispositif de verrouillage (4) destiné à verrouiller le cadre de retenue (1) à l'élément de boîtier (3) dans la position insérée. Le dispositif de verrouillage (4) comprend un élément de verrouillage (41) qui s'engage par complémentarité de formes, dans une position verrouillée, dans l'ouverture de verrouillage (30) de l'élément de boîtier (3). Ainsi, on dispose d'un ensemble d'un élément de connecteur enfichable dans lequel la liaison d'un cadre de retenue à un élément de boîtier peut être simplifiée.
