  • the crimping 21 of the insulator 22 is carried out overlapping, which allows the female lug 6 to be used with cables of different external diameters, in particular cables of the "high” class. temperature "(-40 to + 135 ° C.), while the crimping of the conductor 20 is carried out by means of pliers 23 so as to compress the strands of conductor and ensure electrical contact with all the strands simultaneously.
  • the retaining element 5 is fixed to the housing 2 by the cooperation of the corresponding bearing surfaces 14, 15 so as to compress the seal 8 and to hold the cable 7 to prevent the transmission of external forces to the terminal 6, while the cover 4 covers the edge 24 of the housing 2 by compressing a seal 12.
  • an alternative embodiment of the invention adaptable to blocks grouping several connection modules 3 comprises a housing 2 having a housing per module 3 corresponding.
  • a guide surface 30 aligns the female terminal 6 with the direction of insertion symbolized by the arrow of reference A.
  • the female terminal 6 pushes back a first flexible blade 31 whose head 32 disappears in a housing 33 while pivoting in the direction of arrow B.
  • the female terminal 6 continues to progress until its housing 17 hooks into the lug of the flexible tab 16: the female terminal 6 is then snapped on, but can still be released by traction in the opposite direction to the arrow A, if the tongue 16 is raised using a tool.
  • connection module 3 By pushing the connection module 3 inside the housing 2 in the direction of arrow C, the connection module 3 progresses by a distance corresponding to the progression of the retaining notch 34 which emerges from the housing 35 to penetrate into the housing 36. Having completed this stroke, the head of the flexible blade 31 is in abutment on the surface 37 and constitutes a rear stop preventing the release of the female terminal 6, shown in dotted lines; the female terminal 6 is then completely locked and can no longer be released by pulling on the cable 21 in the direction opposite to the arrow A.
  • the flexible blade 31 remains biased towards the outside by the female lug 6.
  • the head 32 of the blade 31 remains in the housing 33. If the module 3 is then pushed back into the housing 2, the head 32 abuts on the bottom of the housing 33 and prevents the progression of the module 3 in the housing 2.
  • a stop 60 is provided in the housing 2 to limit the translation of the module 3 in the direction of the arrow C and ensure that the retaining catch 34 engages well in the housing 36.
  • the conformation of the retaining catch 34 is such that any translational movement in the opposite direction to that of arrow C is prevented if the retaining notch has not been previously inserted by means of a tool of the screwdriver type.
  • a single cover is produced, for example, covering several connection modules 3 or a single retaining element trapping two rows of cable 21.
  • a retaining element 5 of the device according to the invention is constituted by means of two identical parts 50 assembled by snap-fitting according to a longitudinal plane of symmetry passing substantially through the diameters of the cables 7 to be maintained.
  • Each part 50 comprises a flexible latching blade 51 provided with a head 52 forming a retaining lug and two recessed housings 53 and 54 of corresponding conformation.
  • the flexible blade 51 of one part 50 cooperates with the housings 53 and 54 of the other part 50, so as to provide a first holding position shown in dotted lines and a second definitive closed position not shown, in which the parts are joined to each other according to their plane of symmetry.
  • the parts 50 are integral with one another, but spaced apart by a distance allowing lateral insertion in the direction of arrow D of the cables 7 for power supply.
  • each part 50 comprises two guide bars 55, 56 and two corresponding holes 57, 58: each bar 55 or 56 of a part 50 cooperates with a hole 57 or 58 of the other part 50.
  • Sealing around the cables 21 can be ensured using a unitary seal 8, but also by injection of hot-melt resin so as to constitute a plug.
  • the sealing around the cables 7 and their maintenance can be ensured by overmolding of a resin, for example, or well by provision on the cables of a hot-melt sleeve, and by covering the cables and the peripheral edge 14 of the housing 2 by means of a heat-shrinkable sheath.
