Housing base 227 is added and that the

Locking means 214 as a slider 214a in the

Housing upper part 226 is guided. Here is the

Contact unit 229 in the assembled state of the lower assembly 203 mechanically connected to a formed from the upper housing part 226 and the lower housing part 227 housing 230 and electrically connected to the electronic unit 228. The

Locking means 214 is guided in a formed on the housing upper part 226 channel 231. The locking means 214 comprises a slot-shaped opening 232, which receives a bolt 233 in the mounted state of the locking means 214, which on a bottom 234 of the channel 231

is arranged. The locking means 214 comprises a

Spring element 235, which in the assembled state of

Locking means 214 is received in the opening 232 in front of the bolt 233 such that the spring element 235 presses the locking means 214 in an arrow direction x in the direction of the contact unit 229. In FIG. 8d this is Spring element 235 shown schematically only as a line. On a left side surface 236 and on a right side

Side surface 237, the locking means 214 further comprises two each guide grooves 238, 239, 240 and 241 formed guide means 238a, 239a and 240a, 241a, which run obliquely downwards against the x-direction in x ^x -direction and in ζ ^Λ - direction , These guide grooves 238 to 241 are adapted to pins 242, 243, 244 and 245, which

Form counterpart means 242a, 243a, 244a and 245a. These counter guide means or pins are arranged on opposite guide plates 246, 247 of the centering means 212 and the projection 220 of the upper module 202 (see Figure 8e), wherein the guide plates 246, 247 form a slide channel SK. In the sectional view of FIG. 8b, both the guide grooves 238, 239 and the pins 242, 243 are visible. By a retaining means 248 shown only schematically in FIG. 8d, the locking means 214 is dashed against the spring element 235 in a dashed line

shown, biased position or clamping position P248- 1 held. For pre-assembly, the lower assembly 203 is at in the biased position P248-1 standing

Verrieglungsmittel 214 in the direction of arrow z up to the projecting from above through the roof cutout 501 approach 220 of the upper assembly 202 such that the centering means 212 and the projection 220 is immersed in a formed on the lower assembly 203 receiving means 213 and the

Coaxial connections 207, 208, 222, 223 of the lower assembly 203 and the coaxial connections 210, 211, 224, 225 of the upper assembly 202 facing each other. In this orientation of the lower assembly 203 on the upper assembly 202, in which also the pins 242 to 245 dive into the guide grooves 238 to 241, then the retaining means 248 is actuated for mounting, so that the spring element 235, the locking means 214 in the x direction pushes and the locking means 214 moves from the biased position P248-1 in a locked position or latch position P248-2. A counter-locking means 215 formed on the upper module 202 hereby comprises the pins 242 to 245 Locking means 214 for guiding on the housing 230 with a nose 249 deeper into a channel 231 continuing shaft 250 a. During this movement in the x-direction, the lower assembly 203 is used by the locking means 214 in the z-direction or in a joining direction FR up to the upper assembly 202, since the locking means 214 in the lower assembly 203 linearly in the x-direction is guided and the locking means 214 can move relative to the pins 242 to 245 only when the lower

Assembly 203 approaches the upper assembly 202, wherein the lower assembly 203 is guided in its movement in the z direction on the centering means 212 and at the neck 220 of the upper assembly 202 so that they except the

Locking means 214 can move only in the z-direction.

Once the locking means 214 has reached its position P248-2, the lower assembly 203 is fully assembled and in particular the coaxial connections 207, 208, 222, 223 of the lower assembly 203 and the

Coaxial connections 210, 211, 224, 225 of the upper module 202 connected to each other. On the upper module 203, resilient cushions 251, 252, 253 and 254 are arranged on the upper housing part 226 and, when the lower module 203 is fully assembled, rest against the inside or underside 503b of the roof 503 with slight compression under slight compression.

attenuate occurring vibrations of the lower assembly 203. Basically, the assembly of the lower assembly 203 on the upper assembly 202 is now carried out so that no contact directed in the z-direction joining force must be applied for contacting the assemblies from the worker. Rather, due to the force of the spring element 235, the lower subassembly 203 pulls on its own power against the upper subassembly 202, without any significant force acting on the roof 503, so that permanent deformations of the roof 503 as a result of assembly are ruled out. This movement is created by the lower assembly 203 being guided on the upper assembly 202 in the z-direction and the guide grooves 238, 239 and 240, 241 engaging with the locking means 214 relative to the pins 242, 243, 244 and 245 in FIG Move z-direction. A Disassembly of the lower assembly 203 is effected in that the locking means 214 pulled from its position P248-2 in its position P248-1 and in this by the

Retaining means 248 is secured. Upon retraction of the locking means 214 in the direction of arrow χ ^λ , the lower assembly 203 is expressed by the upper assembly 202, so that even when disassembling no significant force on the roof 503 acts. Thus, a permanent deformation of the roof 503 is excluded as a result of a force exerted during disassembly tensile force in a z ^' ' direction.

The coaxial connections 207, 208, 222, 223 of the upper

Subassembly 202 is designed as a coaxial connector or so-called "male cable connector." The coaxial connections 210, 211, 224, 225 of the lower subassembly 202 are known as

Coaxial sockets or so-called "female cable connectors" formed.
