Abstract
The device is provided with at least one laser diode (2) and two electric connecting members for connection to an electric power supply (8) for supplying said at least one laser diode. It includes two elements (14, 16) which can be elastically deformed or moved, which are conductive electrically and arranged in a base electrically insulated from the two connecting members. The two elastically deformable or moveable elements are electrically connected and arranged so as to abut against two respective contact surfaces (34, 36) of the two connecting members when the device is not connected to said power supply by means of an external connector (40) which is complementary to the two electric connecting members. The two elastically deformable or moveable elements are respectively separated from the two connecting members when the external connector is introduced or are able to be respectively separated from said two connecting members when the external connector is introduced.
