Claims12
A multi-contact connector comprising:
- a plug constituting the termination of a cable having at least one optical conductor and/or at least one electrical conductor;
- and
- a socket for connecting to the plug and comprising a body and a plate for fastening to a panel;
- wherein the socket is a single piece of polymer material and wherein the connector includes electromagnetic shielding.
A connector according to the preceding claim, wherein the plug includes, at its end that is to come into contact with the socket, an insulating body received in the sleeve and having a front face presenting at least one portion in relief, and wherein the socket body includes a front face presenting at least one first portion in relief and at least one second portion in relief.
A connector according to the preceding claim, wherein the socket grounding element is tubular in shape having at least one slot beside at least one solid portion.
A connector according to the preceding claim, wherein the first portion in relief of the front face of the socket body is an opening enabling the solid portion of the socket grounding element to pass through the front face of the socket body.
A connector according to the preceding claim, wherein the first portion in relief of the front face of the insulating body of the plug and the slot of the grounding element of the socket are of complementary shape to enable the first portion in relief of the front face of the insulating body of the plug to be inserted in the slot of the socket grounding element when connecting the plug to the socket.
