As described earlier, Figure l shows a receptacle connector 4 for mounting to electronic squipment which is 5 provided with upright wall parts 7 and 8 containing recesses 10 and 11. The ~osses 9 of the locking lips 3, which are disposed on the housing 2 of the cable connector 1, mate with these recesses.
In a built-in recep~acle connector of the type sllown in Fig. 2, the collar 12 must be inserted through a suitable aperture in the wall of electronic equipment in order to mount and fasten the receptac]e connector 4 to the wall. Upright wall parts 7 and $ such as are shown in Fig. 1 are not, however, 15 possible, so that the cable connector I cannot be locked with the lips 3.
This problem can be eli rnina~ed accorcling to the present invention through use of lip loclcing frame 16 shown in 20 Figs. 3 and 4. This frame 16 can be locked on the outside wall of the collar 17 of the built-in receptacle connector 4 whicll is also shown in Figs. 3 and 4 (see particularly Fig. 4).
The lip locking frame 1~ for the cable connector 1 25 must, of course, also be locked on the built-in connector 4. Th;s is accomplished by locking means disposed, on the one hand, on the collar 17 and, on the other, on the inside wall of the lip locking frame 16. The collar 17 is fitted with side faces 18 which extend outwards at an angle from the free front end of 30 the collar 17 into the plane of the outside wall of the collar.

The bosses 20 are fitted in the lip loclcing frame 16 in the same way as the faces 18 and 19 on opposite walls of the collar 17 as 5 shown in Fig. 4. When this locking frame 16 is pushed over the collar 17, ~he bosses 20 are first pressed outwards bating walls 18, and after passing the edge of the face 19 they then spring back. The lip locking frame 16 is then locked on~o the built-in connector 4.
To ensure that the cable connector 1 with conventional locking lips 3 and bosses 9 mate and latch with a receptacle connector having the lip locking frame, the lip locking frame 16 is provided with recessed parts 23 and 24 15 which do not run downwards as far the edge of the locking frame 16, but end at a transverse wall 25 at right angles to the plane of the locking frame 16. The collar 17 can be provided with recessed parts 26, 27 in order to provide additional space for the bosses 9.
When the cable connector 1 is now inserted into the built-in receptacle connector 4, the bosses 9 of the locking lips 3 will be pressed inwards by the parts 23 and 24, until on further displacement 8 the cable connector 1, these bosses 9 2S through the spring force of the locking lips 3 snap behind the faces 25 of the lip locking frame. The cable connector 1 is herewith now also locked on the built-in connector 4.
The present invention is not limited to the 30 embod;ment shown in Figs. 3 and 4, and modifications and additions are possible without going beyond the scope of the invent;on. ~or exan~ple, the faces 18 and 19 or recesses 26 and 27 can, of collrse, also be used in the central part 5 of Fig. l `` 20~377~
The inside wall of the lip ]ocking frame is provided with guide and locking faces for the bosses on the locking lips.
