<p>There is described an electric connector (2) having an insulating casing (4) defining a number of cavities housing respective electric terminals and having axes parallel to a first direction (A) in which the connector (2) is coupled to a complementary connector (3); a slide (16) fitted to the casing (4) to slide in a second direction (B) perpendicular to the first direction (A), and having first cam coupling members (19) receiving respective second coupling members (20) on the complementary connector (3) to produce a relative coupling movement between the connectors (2, 3) in the first direction (A) when the slide (16) moves in the second direction (B); releasable retaining means (42, 43, 45, 47, 31, 32) defining a fully assembled position of the slide (16) to the casing (4); and elastic means (35) generating an elastic load on the complementary connector ( 3) being coupled to the casing (4) , so as to expel the complementary connector (3), in the event the slide (16) fails to fully engage the casing (4).</p> |
