  • Patent number: 9627824
    Abstract: An electrical connector has a body, with an input part forming passages for corresponding electrical cables, and a base from which two stems project. The connector is associated with a retaining device including a base plate from which two facing sprung retaining elements extend. A retaining region adapted to receive the input part of the connector is formed between these elements. The retaining elements have retaining formations capable of being spread apart by the input part of the connector when it is inserted into the retaining region, and of retaining the input part in the retaining region thereafter. A pair of openings is formed in the base plate between the sprung elements, into which the stems of the base of the connector are insertable.
