Die mit der Erfindung erzielten Vorteile bestehen nun darin, dass derartige bekannte Steckverbinderkontakteinsätze ohne die Nutzung eines Werkzeuges in dem Steckverbindergehäuse fixierbar sind.
Dabei ist die erfindungsgemäße Einrichtung zunächst aus einfachen Anformungen gebildet, die aus der Wandung eines aus zwei Gehäusehälften gebildeten Steckverbindergehäuses hervorstehen sowie aus unterschiedlichen als Federelemente geformten Blechteilen.
Zwei jeweils voneinander beabstandete Anformungen bilden jeweils einen Aufnahmeschlitz, wobei in jedem Eckbereich des Steckverbindergehäuses ein Anformungspaar vorgesehen ist.Connectors generally consist of a connector housing on which one or more cable glands are provided and at least one connector contact insert which is mounted in the housing.
