  • Grooves 19 opposite and recesses 20 also facing are formed on this wall 18, the grooves 19 being located between the recesses 20 and the rear face 4.
  • the insert 9 comprises a plurality of housings 23 which may be of at least two different types, or, alternatively, identical, and arranged to receive electrical or optical contact elements.
  • the insert 9 comprises annular beads 24 coming to bear against an inner wall 25 defining the cavity 6, in order to ensure a leaktight seal between the front 3 and rear 4 faces.
  • the sealing beads 24 are made for example on a rear portion 26 of elastomer material of the insert 9.
  • Grooves 19 and recesses 20 are formed on the inner wall 25, as described above for the wall 18.
  • the connector body 2 provides on the front face 3, around the insert 8, four clearances 27 whose role is explained below.
  • the inserts 8 and 9 are retained in their respective cavities 5 and 6, each with the aid of a pair of retention members 30.
  • each retention element 30 comprises a frame 31 defining a window 32 in which extends an elastically deformable tab 33 movable between a locking position preventing the withdrawal of the insert 8 or 9 of the corresponding cavity 5 or 6 and a retracted position allowing the insertion of the insert 8 or 9 of the cavity 5 or 6 by the rear face 4.
  • the tab 33 comprises a generally flat locking tab 34, defining a bearing edge 35 at the front and comprising two lateral edges 36 substantially parallel to each other.
