Abstract
A contact pin for an electrical connector comprises a body, a connector element, and a sheath, the connector element being maintained in the extension of the body by being coupled with a peg projecting from the front face of the body, the sheath being disposed around the connector element and maintained on the body by clamping an annular portion of the latter. At the peg end, connector element comprises an end for coupling with said pin, conformed such that the pin cannot fit inside the cross section of said coupling end, the connector element being capable of deforming elastically to enable its coupling end to friction fit onto the pin, the thus deformed connector element being unable to fit inside the cross section of the sheath.
