An electrical and mechanical coupling for coupling a microwave head case both to its source and to its support including a back stop and source-positioning pegs. A toggle fastener system is mounted on one of its faces with the toggle fastener system including a draw-bar, a fixing portion, and an operating lever. A blade-shaped return spring has one end fixed to the support and is situated so as to enable the draw-bar to rest on the free end of the spring when the operating lever is pushed back. The source includes structure for engaging said source-positioning pegs, a flexible metal waveguide, a special flange disposed on a free end face of the flexible waveguide and having an opening therethrough and two centering pegs disposed on the special flange. A damper is disposed between the special flange and the body of the source. The microwave head case includes an assembly flange on a first face thereof. The assembly flange includes an opening for co-operating with said opening through the special flange. Two peg-receiving orifices are associated with the assembly flange to receive the respective centering pegs and a second face includes a hook and a back stop, respectively for engagement with the draw-bar and the backstop of the support, respectively.
