Shown in Figure 17 and 18, spill wedge 44 and hasp arm 46 are used to guarantee that by unit 2 being fixed to interconnection unit 2 for example is connected in the automobile at the scene on the case 174.As can be from can best seeing Figure 19, case 174 comprises ear 176, for example is fixed on the fireproof bulkhead by its case 174.The free end face 178 of case 174 has one to define the longitudinal rib 180 of opposed slot 182 with face 178, and this opposed slot 182 reaches an end 184 of muscle 180 and terminates in the stop shoulder 188 at the other end 186 back location places of muscle 180.Thereby the muscle 180 almost cross section on overall length all is a T shape.Hasp element 190 on the face 178 of interconnection case 174 with the end 184 of muscle 180 distance is arranged and have one towards the shoulder 192 of the end 184 of muscle 180 and face away from herein oblique profile 193.For linkage unit 2 being installed on the interconnection case 174, the front end of the spill wedge 44 of erecting device 43 will be inserted in the groove 182 of muscle 180, till the front end of spill wedge 44 arrives to stop shoulder 188.At this moment, the marginal portion 50 of the hasp arm 46 of device 43 is connected on the profile 193 of hasp element 190 along profile, makes the hasp shoulder 48 of arm 46 snap in shoulder 92 back of hasp element 190.

Stand-by in order to prepare linkage unit 2, socket connector 150 is installed to the bottom of compartment 18 with above-mentioned method, it is snapped over the there.Lever 6 is remained on the position that it is opened by above-mentioned hasp arm 66.Pin connector 148 is loaded in the top of socket connector 150, is in prewired position, as shown in figure 13.At the open position of lever 6, slide block 8 is in its retracted position, makes the upper end 64 of each type groove 82 link up (Figure 16) mutually with corresponding opening 86.In the installation process of connector 148, their gudgeon 162 enters into type groove 82 by the opening in spill wedge 41 86, places the top 90 of type groove 82.For each pin connector 148 and socket connector 150 are complementary in its underpart, lever 6 is done accurate guiding with rail 52 be pressed into its off-position, make the hasp shoulder 142 of lever 6 by clasp 122 be combined under the roof 80 of socket 76 it is remained there.When lever 6 is closed when being incorporated into off-position, the thrust 112 on lever 6 travels forward slide block 8, makes gudgeon 162 be entered its underpart 92 by the top 90 along type groove 82 forcibly, up to the end 88 of groove 82.Thereby the socket connector 150 of each pin connector 148 below it is complementary.Because the top 90 of groove 82 is relatively steeper, connector 148 is shifted to connector 150 rapidly, enters the bottom 92 with smaller gradient up to gudgeon 162, makes that the mechanical dominance that is provided by lever and chute system also increases when needed coupling power increases.Extend the lead-in wire L1 that comes from connector 148 and extend upward from member 4, shown in the dotted line among Figure 18, because that lever arm 102 is compared with the width of member 4 is narrower, thereby the space that provides lead-in wire L1 to draw.The lead-in wire L2 of connector 150 extends from the bottom of member 4.Pin connector 148 can unload from member like this: at first, pointing backward by cutouts 140 usefulness, splenium divides 128 from supporting the hasp shoulder 142 that roof 80 unloads hasp arm portion 128, to recall shoulder 142 backward, afterwards lever 6 is turned back to its open position, the backstop 172 of inwardly pressing connector 148 then makes 164 bendings of hasp arm, so that connector 148 can move from member 4.

Because slide block 8 is connected to short end face 160 rather than its long side surface 158 and 159 of connector 148, and because connector 150 with the direction extension identical with connector 148, thereby for the length of given member 4, can hold the connector of maximum quantity.

According to end user's needs, connector can be contained in all compartments 18, perhaps only is contained in the compartment 18 of specified quantity.Being used for the special benefits that lever 6 snaps over the clasp 122 of its off-position is that the free end 134 of hasp arm 124 is prevented to twine mutually with the L1 that goes between by lever 6, can prevent that also the accident of hasp arm 124 from driving.Owing to have cutouts 140, clasp 122 to be highly susceptible to operation.

Shown in Figure 21 and 20, connector 150 can have side switch 200, and combining with keyway 202 in the dividing plate 16, and connector 148 can have end key 204, to combine with the end keyway 206 of corresponding connectors 150.

The right connector of all couplings can be by being mated lever 6 from the position that its position of opening moves on to its pass simultaneously, thereby, formed the whole circuit that are connected with L2 with the L1 that goes between simultaneously.On the contrary, by lever 6 is moved on to its open position from its off-position, all circuit are just broken simultaneously.

Preferably, all connectors are all used color coding, and key and keyway are arranged, and make each compartment 18 can only patch a kind of connector of particular color code.

Thereby advantage of the present invention is that electric connector according to the present invention provides a kind of can pegging graft to install the connector modules of needed modular connector concentratedly.The lever construction that is provided has mechanical advantage, and lever construction comprises the molded hasp arm that an integral body that is protected in the covering is made, in case principal vertical line tangle up or break away from combination unexpectedly.
