Electrical connector, comprising a plurality of connector wafers coupled by a coupling piece, each wafer comprising a housing accommodating a plurality of contact elements, said housing having opposite side edges, an insertion side exposing the contact elements, a back side and opposite main face
1. Electrical connector, comprising a plurality of connector wafers coupled by a coupling piece, each wafer comprising a housing accommodating a plurality of contact elements, said housing having opposite side edges, an insertion side exposing the contact elements, a back side and opposite main faces, the connector wafers being provided with first coupling means extending along at least a portion of a side edge thereof,wherein the coupling piece is provided with second coupling means extending along at least a portion thereof,wherein the first and second coupling means are arranged for engaging each other, in a coupled situation, on a plurality of distinct, spaced transverse engagement portions along a first coupling ridge, the number and the positions of which along the respective coupling means determine the relative fixation as well as the force required for assembly of the connector wafer and the coupling piece. 2. Connector according to claim 1, wherein the first coupling means are provided as the first coupling ridge on one or both side edges of the connector wafer and extending along a longitudinal axis substantially in the direction from the insertion side to the back side, and wherein the second coupling means are provided as a coupling slot adapted to receive the coupling ridge,the coupling slot having at least one edge with one or more portions extending further into the slot than another portion of that edge. 3. Connector according to claim 1, wherein the first coupling means are provided as the first coupling ridge on one or both side edges of the connector wafer and extending along a longitudinal axis substantially in the direction from the insertion side to the back side, and wherein the second coupling means are provided as a coupling slot adapted to receive the connector wafer coupling ridge,the coupling ridge having at least one edge with one or more portions which extend transversally relatively further from the longitudinal axis than another portion of that edge. 4. Connector according to claim 3, wherein the first coupling ridge comprises a section with an angle in it with respect to the longitudinal axis. 5. Connector according to claim 2, wherein the first and second coupling means engage each other, in a coupled situation, on at least three distinct portions, one first portion being arranged on one side of the longitudinal axis and a second and third portion being arranged on the opposite side of the longitudinal axis and on either side of the first portion along the longitudinal axis. 6. Connector according to claim 1, wherein the first coupling ridge and a corresponding coupling slot have a dovetail-shaped cross-section perpendicular to the longitudinal axis throughout at least a portion of their respective lengths. 7. Connector according to claim 1, wherein the first and/or the second coupling means are provided with polarisation and/or coding means. 8. Connector according to claim 1, wherein the connector wafer comprises an insert molded leadframe assembly and a housing piece, at least one of which being provided with the first coupling means. 9. Connector according to claim 8, wherein the insert molded leadframe assembly is provided with the first coupling ridge as an essentially straight coupling ridge with respect to the longitudinal axis and the housing piece is provided with a coupling ridge comprising a section with an angle in it with respect to the longitudinal axis. 10. Connector wafer presenting the features of the connector wafer disclosed in claim 1. 11. Coupling piece presenting the features of the coupling piece disclosed in claim 1. 12. Connector wafer housing piece presenting the features of the connector wafer housing piece disclosed in claim 8. 13. Kit for assembling a connector according to claim 1, comprising one or more coupling pieces and a plurality of connector wafers and/or a plurality of insert molded leadframe assemblies and connector wafer housing pieces. 14. Electrical connector, comprising a plurality of connector wafers coupled by a coupling piece, each wafer comprising a housing accommodating a plurality of contact elements, said housing having opposite side edges, an insertion side exposing the contact elements, a back side and opposite main faces, the connector wafers being provided with a coupling ridge extending along at least a portion of a side edge thereof and oriented along a longitudinal axis substantially in the direction from the insertion side to the back side,wherein the coupling piece is provided with corresponding coupling slots extending along at least a portion thereof,wherein the coupling ridge comprises a section with a transverse angle in it with respect to the longitudinal axis, arranged for engaging a coupling slot of the coupling piece, in a coupled situation, on a plurality of distinct portions along the angled section. 15. Electrical connector, comprising a plurality of connector wafers coupled by a coupling piece, each wafer comprising a housing accommodating a column of contact elements, said housing having opposite side edges, an insertion side exposing the contact elements, a back side and opposite main faces, the connector wafers being provided with first coupling means extending along at least a portion of a side edge thereof and extending along a longitudinal axis substantially in the direction from the insertion side to the back side,wherein the coupling piece is provided with second coupling means extending along at least a portion thereof,wherein the connecting wafer comprises an insert molded leadframe assembly and a housing piece,at least the housing piece being provided with the first coupling means extending along at least a portion of a side edge thereof and comprising a coupling ridge section with a transverse angle in it with respect to the longitudinal axis, arranged for engaging a coupling slot of the coupling piece, in a coupled situation, on a plurality of distinct portions along the angled section.
