Abstract

A connector having at least one contact with a resiliently deformable arm, inserted longitudinally in a socket formed in an insulating block and having longitudinal generatrices, and comprising: a body cooperating with at least one edge of the socket so that, once the contact has been inserted, it has a longitudinal axis substantially parallel to the direction of the generatrices of the socket; an output terminal disposed at a longitudinal end of the body of the contact and extending beyond the socket; an extention forming an abutment for the contact on the insulating block in the direction of insertion of the contact; and a resilient tongue cooperating with a stopping face of a retention cavity disposed in the socket so as to form an abutment in the direction opposite the direction of insertion of the contact; the resiliently deformable arm being disposed at the other longitudinal end of the body and extending beyond the socket.
