Abstract

L'invention concerne un système de blocage d'un connecteur enfichable (8, 11), comportant au moins un adaptateur (7, 10) et une partie boîtier (3, 4) présentant au moins un emplacement d'enfichage (6, 9) muni d'interfaces pour le logement de l'adaptateur (7, 10). L'adaptateur (7, 10) présente sur sa face extérieure des interfaces permettant son positionnement dans l'emplacement d'enfichage (6, 9) de la partie boîtier (3, 4). L'adaptateur présente par ailleurs une géométrie intérieure permettant le logement du connecteur enfichable (8, 11). La face extérieure de l'adaptateur (7, 10) et l'emplacement d'enfichage (6, 9) de la partie boîtier (3, 4) sont conçus de manière à former un système de blocage principal (15) servant à fixer l'adaptateur (7, 10) dans l'emplacement d'enfichage (6, 9) concerné lorsque l'adaptateur (7, 10) est introduit dans l'emplacement d'enfichage (6, 9) dans une position prédéfinie. Un système de blocage secondaire (18) peut être introduit dans la partie boîtier (3, 4) jusqu'à une position de fin de course prédéfinie pour bloquer l'adaptateur (7, 10) dans l'emplacement d'enfichage (6, 9). Le système de blocage secondaire (18) est également conçu pour, dans la position de fin de course, bloquer le connecteur enfichable (8, 11) dans l'adaptateur (7, 10).
