HOLDING FRAME FOR CONNECTOR MODULES

Abstract

The invention proposes a one-piece holding frame of plastic for a plug-type connector, in which several connector modules are arranged adjacent to one another, wherein several wall segments with window-like openings are formed in the collar-shaped mating side of said holding frame by means of slots. Two wall segments that lie opposite of one another respectively form a receptacle for one connector module, wherein projections arranged on the connector modules snap into the openings of the holding frame when the connector modules are inserted into the holding frame.
