ABSTRACT:
There is described an electric connector (2) having an insulating casing (4) defining a number of cavities housing respective electric terminals and having axes parallel to a first direction (A) in which the connector (2) is coupled to a complementary connector (3); a slide (16) fitted to the casing (4) to slide in a second direction (B) perpendicular to the first direction (A), and having first cam coupling members (19) receiving respective second coupling members (20) on the complementary connector (3) to produce a relative coupling movement between the connectors (2, 3) in the first direction (A) when the slide (16) moves in the second direction (B); releasable retaining means (42, 43, 45, 47, 31, 32) defining a fully assembled position of the slide (16) to the casing (4); and elastic means (35) generating an elastic load on the complementary connector (3) being coupled to the casing (4), so as to expel the complementary connector (3), in the event the slide (16) fails to fully engage the casing (4).
