Abstract

An electrical connection device, including two conductors (12 and 14), in which at least one of the two conductors is made of aluminum, each conductor has a contact surface, and a conductive element (1) is inserted between the contact surfaces of the conductors. The inserted conductive part has a foam skeleton having open cells of a metal selected from the group consisting of iron, nickel, and the alloys thereof, directly covered with at least one coating of copper, tin, indium or one of the alloys thereof.
