Abstract
A microconnector with a high density of contacts which make it possible to connect N parallel electrodes to N electrical conductors. The microconnector comprises a support able to receive the electrodes, N electrically conductive, flexible, elastic wires, respectively connected to the N conductors and fixed to an insulating part movable relative to said support in such a way that the wires are parallel and each of them can come into contact with a single electrode as a result of a displacement of the insulating part when the electrodes are fitted in the support. A cam is provided for moving the part in such a way as to bring about simultaneous contacts between the respective electrodes and wires. The microconnector can be used in connection with flat screen display means.
