Abstract

The invention relates to a modular electrical-connection element. It is characterised in that it includes an insulating body including a central region (11) for receiving electrical contact elements (60) and twp lateral branches (12, 13) substantially perpendicular to an axis of the central region (11) and having a width (1) equal to that of the module, in that each lateral branch includes, on an outer face (32), a screening element (40) extending over a major part of its surface, the screening element (40) comprising at least one device (45, 54) for retaining in position in the insulating body, at least one electrical connection contact (43) extending beyond the insulating body and at least one contact (46, 48) for elastic electrical contact through at least one corresponding opening (17) of the lateral branch (12, 13) emerging on an inner face (31) of the lateral branch (12, 13).
