Abstract
A pluggable electrical connection device comprises at least one pin-shaped male element of electrically conductive material and at least one female element. The female element is a metal coil spring having at least four turns sufficiently spaced apart to receive the male element between two mutually adjacent turns. The coil spring may have end portions which are bent to constitute tabs parallel to an axis of said coil spring and soldered to said support. It may also be locked between two elongated holes formed in two opposed sides of a cage and connected to a base circuit fast with said cage by pin.
