More Information
Summary:A holding frame for a plug-type connector is intended to have good heat resistance and a high level of mechanical robustness and, when installed in a metallic plug-type connector housing, enable protective grounding while being convenient to use, in particular during the replacement of individual modules. To this end, a holding frame is provided having a rigid die-cast metal frame and cheek parts made of resilient sheet metal, the cheek parts being distinct from but coupled to the rigid die-cast metal frame to extend along opposing exterior sides of the longitudinal sidewalls of the rigid die-cast metal frame to provide a multi-layer sidewall structure, and each cheek part having a upper portion with at least one detent window which is configured to flex outwardly to an insertion state to receive a connector module and to return to a holding state to lock the connector module in place.
