Abstract
Connector provided with a cap for locking to a complementary connector and with one or more means for securing the locking and the associated coupling between connectors. The application includes a means that makes it possible to secure, preferably by mechanical interference, the fact that the locking cap effectively locks the casing of the connector to that of a complementary connector.
Claims14
A connector) comprising:
- a casing of longitudinal axis (X), comprising a front face, called connection face, via which the connection by coupling along the longitudinal axis (X) to a connector of complementary type comprising a complementary casing, is made, and a rear face,
- a cap for locking the connector to the complementary connector, said cap being mounted on the casing and designed to slide, transversely with respect to the longitudinal axis (X) of the casing, between an unlocking position and a locking position between casing and complementary casing,
- at least one means for securing the coupling and the locking, the one or more securing means being designed to mechanically block the sliding of the locking cap before it reaches its locking position, in the event of at least partial deformation of the cap that is caused by incorrect coupling.
