Abstract
An electrical connector portion fixable in a floating manner to a support (2) and including a body (1) that is polygonal in cross-section, with links (5, 13, 20) imparting six degrees of freedom to the body (1) relative to the support, and with a resilient return spring (12, 19, 22) for returning the body (1) to an equilibrium position relative to each degree of freedom. A first link arrangement (5) between the body (1) and the support (2) comprises a first link structure (6, 7) in rotation conferring degree of freedom in rotation about an axis (Y) perpendicular one to the coupling direction, and link structure (9, 10, 11) in translation conferring one degree of freedom in translation along an axis (Z) parallel to the coupling direction.
