Multi-contact connector socket for rapid fastening to a panel

摘要

A connector socket has two hooking parts each having at least one hook to fasten to a housing, at least one hooking part is mounted on the housing; the two hooking parts move apart from each other when at least the slidable hooking part slides from a retracted position towards a deployed position; at least one tongue that is connected to the slidable hooking part to cause the hooking part to slide from a deployed position to a retracted position when an operator presses against the tongue; and at least one spring distinct from the hooking parts, each spring having one end connected to the housing and its other end connected to a corresponding slidable hooking part and exerting a thrust force thereon transversely to the axis of the housing, at least when in a deployed position and in the absence of pressure being applied on the corresponding tongue.

主权项

1. A connector socket for a multi-contact connector, the socket being for fastening to a panel and comprising a housing configured to be received in part in an opening in the panel, the socket further comprising:
two hooking devices, each of the hooking devices comprising at least one hook configured to fasten the housing to the panel, at least one of the two hooking devices being mounted on the housing to slide transversely to the insertion axis of the housing between at least a retracted, release position and at least a deployed, fastening position, the two hooking devices moving apart from each other when the at least one slidable hooking device slides from the retracted position towards the deployed position; at least one tongue against which an operator's finger can bear and that extends from a lateral side of the housing, the at least one tongue being connected to the at least one slidable hooking device to cause the at least one slidable hooking device to slide from the deployed position to the retracted position when the operator presses against the at least one tongue; and at least one helical spring distinct from the two hooking devices, the at least one helical spring having one end connected to the housing and an other end connected to the at least one slidable hooking device and exerting a thrust force thereon transversely to the axis of the housing, at least when in a deployed position and in the absence of pressure being applied on the at least one tongue.
