Abstract
The invention relates to a male device comprising an elongate portion and an antenna. The elongate portion extends in one direction between a first end and a second end, and is intended for receiving at least one female device by threading from the first end. The near-field communication antenna is placed inside the elongate portion and comprises at least one conductive turn comprising two connection terminals at the second end, the two connection terminals being intended for being connected to a reading circuit, the conductive turn being positioned so as to produce at least one magnetic field generating a flux passing through the elongate portion perpendicularly to the direction when the antenna is traversed by a current produced by the reading circuit.
