To this end, a notched tongue (15) of each flat-pin socket (11) engages, when the plate (9) is in the unlocked position, in the side of the plate facing in the direction of insertion of the plug (1), while, when the plate (9) is in the locked position, the peripheral regions (20, 47, 48) of the openings (10) in the plate (9) are contiguous, on the side (21), with sections of the edge (16) of the box-shaped section (13) of the flat-pin socket (11).
