Abstract
The present invention provides an electrical connector for connecting a core of a machine cable (37) to a pin (28) or a socket (32) of an electrical connection device. The connector has a first part and a second part. The first and second parts have first and second locking surfaces respectively and first and second separate contact surfaces (50, 52). The second part further includes a projection for securing the core of the machine cable and which is electrically connected to the second contact surface. The contact surfaces are so arranged that when the locking surfaces are interlocked, the contact surfaces are in electrical contact with each other so that an electrical contact is established between the core of the machine cable and the pin or socket.
