  9. Boítier de connecteur à broche selon une des revendications précédentes, caractérisé en ce que les ouvertures réceptrices (10 ; 51, 52) se trouvent de préférence à la hauteur des épaulements (14) des éléments de contact (4) insérés dans les chambres (3 ; 41, 42, 43, 44) du boítier qui sont formés par un décrochement ou un rétrécissement entre la région de raccordement et la région de base d'un élément de contact (4), de sorte que, dans la progression du mouvement de verrouillage, le coulisseau de verrouillage (9 ; 46) peut se poser sur l'épaulement (14) de l'élément de contact (4) en établissant un contact de blocage.
  10. Boítier de connecteur à broche selon une des revendications précédentes, caractérisé en ce que, sur la partie de tête de forme d'encliquetage (15) sont disposées au moins deux languettes de verrouillage (13, 16 ; 47 ; 48), de préférence en forme de bande, orientées parallèlement et espacées l'une de l'autre, et qui, avec la partie de tête de forme d'encliquetage (15), décrivent sensiblement un profil en U, de sorte que deux gradins (22 ; 23) des épaulements (14) de l'élément de contact (4) sont prévus pour le verrouillage.
  11. Boítier de connecteur à broche selon une des revendications précédentes, caractérisé en ce que le coulisseau de verrouillage (9) est composé d'au moins deux profils en U parallèles et espacés l'un de l'autre possédant chacun une partie de tête de forme d'encliquetage (15) et deux languettes de verrouillage (13 ; 16), les différences de dimensionnement et l'espacement étant déterminés par la position des éléments de contact (4) dans le boítier d'embrochage (2 ; 36 ; 45), et les languettes de verrouillage (13, 16; 47 ; 48) des profils en U étant différentes par la longueur, la largeur et la profondeur.
  12. Boítier de connecteur à broche selon une des revendications précédentes, caractérisé en ce que les moyens d'assemblage (5 ; 6) disposés extérieurement comprennent des rainures de guidage (83, 84 ; 21, 24 ; 58, 59) espacées l'une de l'autre, parallèlement entre elles, dans lesquelles peuvent être emmanchées, en réalisant une liaison de retenue par sûreté de forme, des insertions de guidage (27, 28 ; 60, 61 ; 72, 73), de préférence coudées à angle droit, de l'autre moyen d'assemblage (6 ; 5) porté par l'autre boítier d'embrochage (36).

  14. Boítier de connecteur à broche selon une des revendications précédentes, caractérisé en ce que, pour démonter le raccordement en série entre les moyens d'assemblage (5, 6), les mentonnets d'encliquetage (30 ; 68, 69) portés par la languette élastique (29 ; 67) du deuxième moyen d'assemblage (6) sont dimensionnés de manière qu'après qu'on a surmonté la force élastique de la languette élastique (29 ; 67), ils puissent être dégagés de l'accrochage arrière de la saillie d'encliquetage (31) du coulisseau de verrouillage (9 ; 46) du premier moyen d'assemblage (5).
  15. Boítier de connecteur à broche selon une des revendications précédentes, caractérisé en ce que le moyen de verrouillage (9 ; 46) qui forme une région partielle des moyens d'assemblage (5 ; 6) peut être extrait avec l'élément d'assemblage correspondant lorsqu'on démonte l'assemblage en série entre les boítiers de connecteurs à broche, de sorte que le moyen de verrouillage (9 ; 46) peut être enlevé, de préférence sans outil et, de cette façon, au moins un élément de contact inséré (4) peut être déverrouillé.
