Abstract

The invention concerns a connector designed to be fitted to a multi-conductor cable and which comprises at least one socket, a cable grip formed by a portion connected to the socket and a free portion articulated on the connected portion, and assembly means. The assembly means comprise a lever articulated around an articulation axis, held by the socket and distant from the articulation axis of the grip, wherein this lever has a curved end that may exert on the external surface of the free portion of the grip a thrust force which solicits the grip when closing in response to the application, on the lever, of a rotational torque around the articulation axis.
