Abstract

A one-piece holding frame formed of plastic for a plug-type connector, in which several connector modules are arranged adjacent to one another. Several wall segments with window-like openings are formed in the collar-shaped mating side of the holding frame via slots. Two wall segments that lie opposite of one another respectively form a receptacle for one connector module, wherein projections arranged on the connector modules snap into the openings of the holding frame when the connector modules are inserted into the holding frame.
