Abstract

La pertinence des perfectionnements préconisés repose essentiellement sur le fait que ce type de connecteur est inséré sur la terminale connectée à l'extrémité du connecteur, non représenté sur les figures, à l'intérieur des cellules (20), de façon latérale, cette terminale demeurant en premier lieu retenue par la protubérance (15), cependant que la partie du conducteur qui émerge de cette terminale passe entre les ailettes (18) et, à partir de cet instant, ne peut plus sortir des cellules (20), les ailettes (18) ne le permettant pas.

Figure 00000001
The relevance of the recommended improvements rests essentially on the fact that this type of connector is inserted on the terminal connected to the end of the connector, not shown in the figures, inside the cells (20), laterally, this terminal remaining in the first place retained by the protuberance (15), while the part of the conductor which emerges from this terminal passes between the fins (18) and, from this moment, can no longer leave the cells (20), the fins (18) not allowing it.
