Abstract

It is proposed to design a retaining frame (1) for retaining plug-in connector modules (40) in such a way that retaining means (41) of the plug-in connector modules (40) can be retained in recesses (11) of the retaining frame (1) in a play-free manner. To this end, the retaining frame (1) is designed in two pieces, wherein a slot (2/3) between the two retaining frame pieces (2/3) extends through the recesses (11). By under-sizing the recesses (11) in relation to the dimension of the retaining means (41) of plug-in connector modules (40), a press-fit of the retaining means (41) in the recesses (11) is effected by the assembly of the retaining frame parts (2, 3).
