Abstract:
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 at the same time being convenient to use, in particular during the replacement of individual modules. To this end, it is proposed to manufacture the holding frame at least partially from spring-elastic sheet metal. For this purpose, the holding frame can have a basic portion and a deformation portion, which are formed from different materials. The basic portion is used for fixing an accommodated module in a plane. The deformation portion can assume an insertion state and a holding state, wherein the insertion state permits insertion of at least one module into the holding frame in a direction transverse to the plane and an accommodated module is fixed in the holding state.

Claim (Index 1):
A holding frame for a plug-type connector adapted to receive a plurality of connector modules, the holding frame comprising:\n a rigid metallic base frame including opposing longitudinal sidewalls and transverse end walls that define a rectangular frame structure with a module receiving cavity extending therethrough to insertably receive the plurality of connector modules; a first resilient cheek part coupled to one of the opposing longitudinal sidewalls of the rigid metallic base frame and arranged such that at least a portion of the first resilient cheek part extends along an external side of said longitudinal sidewall; and a second resilient cheek part coupled to the other one of the opposing longitudinal sidewalls of the rigid metallic base frame and arranged such that at least a portion of the second resilient cheek part extends along an external side of said longitudinal sidewall, and wherein each cheek part includes an upper end portion that is adapted to move outwardly away from the rigid metallic base frame to enable insertion of at least one of the connector modules into the module receiving cavity of the rigid metallic base frame and to move back toward the rigid metallic base frame to a holding state to secure the connector module within the module receiving cavity of the rigid metallic base frame via at least one locking window arranged in the upper end portion that engages a corresponding lug of the connector module.
