Abstract

L'invention concerne un corps de boîtier de jonction électrique qui est divisé en un premier bloc et un second bloc. Une section de réception de borne femelle destinée à recevoir une borne femelle est montée au niveau d'une extrémité divisée d'au moins l'un ou l'autre des blocs et la borne femelle est reliée à un circuit intérieur d'au moins l'un ou l'autre des blocs. Par ailleurs, une section de réception de borne mâle destinée à recevoir une borne mâle est montée sur l'autre bloc et la borne mâle est reliée à un circuit intérieur de l'autre bloc. Lorsque les sections de réception de bornes femelle et mâle sont adaptées l'une à l'autre, les bornes femelle et mâle sont adaptées l'une à l'autre afin de refermer une connexion de circuits entre le premier bloc et le second bloc. Des griffes de verrouillage destinées à se mettre en prise l'une avec l'autre sont montées au niveau de parois périphériques de la section de réception de borne femelle et de la section de réception de borne mâle, et la borne femelle ainsi que la borne mâle ne sont pas en contact l'une avec l'autre jusqu'à ce que les griffes de verrouillage soient finalement en prise.
