Abstract
Connection assembly comprising a connector and a counter-connector. The shielding cage of the connector has attachment means which are formed by deformation of the shielding cage, without an opening being created. The attachment means are configured to prevent the internal element of the connecting casing from moving in translation with respect to the shielding cage, parallel to the coupling direction (A). The shielding cage is prevented from moving in translation parallel to the coupling direction (A) with respect to the external casing element with the aid of the retaining device.

Connection assembly comprising:
- a connector and a counter-connector, the connector and the counter-connector being configured to be coupled together parallel to a coupling direction (A), the connector and the counter-connector each respectively comprising a shielding cage, which are in electrical contact with one another when the connector is coupled to the counter-connector, the connector and the counter-connector each respectively comprising a casing, wherein
- the connector casing has an internal casing element and an external casing element, which are formed of two separable elements, the external casing element having an internal wall,
- the connector has a retaining device attached to the internal wall operatively with a fastening means,
- wherein the shielding cage of the connector has attachment means which are formed by deformation of the shielding cage of the connector, without an opening being created, and are configured to prevent the internal casing element from moving in translation with respect to the shielding cage of the connector parallel to the coupling direction (A), and
- wherein the shielding cage of the connector is prevented from moving in translation parallel to the coupling direction (A) with respect to the external casing element with the aid of the retaining device.
Connector configured to be coupled to a counter-connector parallel to a coupling direction (A), the connector comprising a casing, a shielding cage and a retaining device, the casing having an internal casing element and an external casing element, which are formed by two separable elements, the external casing element having an internal wall, and the retaining device being attached to the internal wall with the aid of fastening means,
- wherein
- the shielding cage has attachment means which are formed by deformation thereof, without an opening being created, the attachment means being configured to prevent the internal casing element from moving in translation with respect to the shielding cage parallel to the coupling direction (A), and in that
- the shielding cage is prevented from moving in translation parallel to the coupling direction (A) with respect to the external casing element with the aid of the retaining device.
