Abstract

The general field of the invention is that of the devices for connecting an electronic module in a rack comprising an opening of dimensions close to those of the front face of the module and a seat for fixing and connecting said module, said connection device comprising a first and a second male connector mounted on the rear face of the electronic module; and a first and a second female connector mounted on the fixing seat. In the device according to the invention, the second female connector is mounted in a structure comprising mechanical means for self-centring said second female connector within a clearance range greater than the mechanical positioning tolerances and elastic means arranged so as to hold said second female connector in position. These various means are arranged in such a way as to be able to ensure the blind electrical connection of the electronic module in the rack, its front face resting on the opening.
