Abstract:
1. A connection assembly comprising: a first multi-contact connector case including at least two locking zones each having a series of teeth perpendicular to a first axis, the teeth in each series being regularly spaced apart, the two locking zones being separated from each other by a gap having a first height measured along said first axis; and a second multi-contact connector case suitable for being assembled with the first case, preferably in removable manner, the second case comprising a case body and a locking cap movable relative to the case body parallel to said first axis between an unlocked position and a locked position, the locking cap having at least two elastically deformable tabs, each provided with a locking zone having a series of teeth perpendicular to the first axis, the teeth in each series being regularly spaced apart, each locking zone of an elastically deformable tab co-operating with a locking zone of the first case when the two cases are assembled together and the locking cap is in the locked position, the locking zones of the second case being separated from each other by a gap having a second height measured along said first axis, the second height being different from the first height; the series of teeth in the locking zones of both cases all having the same pitch, and the difference between the first and second heights not being equal to a multiple of the pitch of the series of teeth.
