Abstract
An electrical connection device includes a housing with a tubular cavity and a contact having a first portion and a second portion. The first portion has a cylindrical first external surface oriented about a longitudinal axis and is inserted into the tubular cavity of the housing. The second portion extends outside the tubular cavity and has an orientation zone with a second external surface that is partially, but not completely, cylindrical about the longitudinal axis. The electrical connection device further includes an anti-rotation device, displaceable in translation up to a final position, and having a first surface complementary to the second external surface of the orientation zone and abutting thereon when the anti-rotation device is in the final position and the contact is oriented in an operating position. A method of mounting such an electrical connection device is also provided.
