Abstract

L'invention concerne un cadre de retenue (1, 1', 1") pour un connecteur industriel pour la réception de modules de connecteurs (12) similaires et/ou différents, le cadre de retenue (1, 1', 1") étant composé essentiellement d'un châssis en fil métallique courbé tridimensionnellement. La fabrication d'un tel cadre de retenue (1, 1', 1") peut être particulièrement économique. Le cadre de retenue (1, 1', 1") est particulièrement utilisé dans des applications dans lesquelles une stabilité mécanique particulièrement élevée n'est pas requise.
