Abstract:
A divided connector, comprising:a frame with at least first and second accommodating portions, at least one resilient lock formed at an inner surface of the first accommodating portion, at least first and second auxiliary connectors mounted respectively in the first and second accommodating portions, the first and second auxiliary connectors being each connectable with at least one mating auxiliary connector in a mating connector, wherein: at least the first auxiliary connector defining a displaceable auxiliary connector held in the frame in a temporary mount position by the resilient lock in the first accommodating portion and being movable along a connecting direction to a final mount position upon deflection of the resilient lock away from the first auxiliary connector, the displaceable auxiliary connector coming into contact with the mating auxiliary connector while being in the temporary mount position such that mating forces exerted on the frame cause deflection of the resilient lock and permit relative movement of the frame and the first auxiliary connector to the final mount position of the first auxiliary connector without contact of the resilient lock by the mating connector, and the second auxiliary connector being connected subsequently with the mating auxiliary connector.
