Claims12
An assembly comprising a plug-connector body and a U-shaped carrier body in which said plug-connector body is held to said U-shaped carrier body by angle elements attached to said plug-connector body in which pin-shaped fastening elements are disposed;
- each said angle element having fixed thereto a post having a continuous axial opening;
- wherein each of said posts includes a gripping element slidably disposed in said axial opening within said post, each said gripping element having an internally extending longitudinal bore into which one of said pin-shaped fastening elements may be engaged;
- said angle elements having slits in corner regions thereof into which portions of the plug connector body may be introduced, with said posts being disposed spaced apart from a lower edge of the slits, and an end of each pin-shaped fastening element respectfully engaging said longitudinal bore when the gripping element is pushed into the plug-connector body;
- said gripping element has a latch which permits a pre-mounting position and a final position of the gripping elements, and
- each said gripping element has a step-shaped moulded-on corner portion.
