Abstract

L'invention concerne un connecteur enfichable (1) comportant un corps de base (2), un moyen d'actionnement (3), un moyen d'encliquetage (4) et un moyen de blocage (5). Selon un mécanisme du pousser-tirer connu, au moyen du moyen d'encliquetage (4), un verrouillage d'un réceptacle d'un connecteur enfichable homologue est possible. Par l'actionnement du moyen d'actionnement (3), le verrouillage peut être libéré. Le moyen de blocage (5) empêche le moyen d'encliquetage (4), dans l'état non accouplé du connecteur enfichable (1), c'est-à-dire sans recevoir le réceptacle, de passer dans une position verrouillée. Le connecteur enfichable (1) peut ainsi prendre deux états statiques, un état ouvert et un état fermé.
