Connector with secure engagement

摘要

A connector comprising a first module (1) on which a lever (6) is mounted so as to be able to rotate, and a second module (2), the first and second modules having complementary engagement profiles and receiving complementary contact elements, the lever (6) and the second module (2) comprising complementary means (8, 9) for driving the second module (2) in translation in a coupling direction of the first and second modules (1, 2), under the action of the rotation of the lever (6), the driving means (8, 9) being suitable for abutting to block the coupling before the contact between the complementary contact elements is established upon the introduction of the second module (2) into the first module (1) as long as the lever (6) does not occupy a rotation-stroke starting position for the purpose of the driving in translation.

1. A connector comprising:
a first module on which a lever is mounted so as to be able to rotate, and a second module, the first and second modules having complementary engagement profiles and receiving complementary contact elements, the lever and the second module comprising:
first complementary means for driving the second module in translation in a coupling direction of the first and second modules, under the action of the rotation of the lever, the first complementary means for driving are suitable for abutting to block the coupling of the first and second modules before the contact between the complementary contact elements is established upon the introduction of the second module into the first module as long as the lever does not occupy a rotation-stroke starting position for the purpose of the driving in translation;second complementary means for reciprocal locking in a coupling end position, wherein the second complementary means for reciprocal locking comprise a tooth on the second module and at least one hump fixed with respect to rotation on the lever and configured for engaging with a sidewall of the tooth; andthe lever comprising at least one arched prominence fixed with respect to rotation on the lever, the arched prominence being fully detached from the hump and having an abutment surface.
