Abstract
The invention relates to a retaining device for maintaining an electric contact (24) in the connector socket (22) of a connection box (20). The inventive device comprises a bearing surface (50) interacting with a shoulder (52) which is arranged on the level of said contact (24) and is characterised in that the bearing surface and the shoulder (52) are provided with supplementary nonplanar profiles in such a way that the thus obtained contact plane has a larger contact surface than the contact planes having the equal size across the width thereof.
