Claim:
1. A contact that is sealed when disconnected and compliant when connected to another contact, comprising: a contact body; a transmission means held by a support; a ferrule that is placed at an end of the transmission means; a sealant product providing a sealing between the ferrule and the transmission means; and a sealing means provided between the ferrule and the contact body, the sealing means creating a seal between the ferrule and the contact body when the contact is disconnected from the another contact such that the sealing means is in contact with both an inner surface of the contact body and the ferrule, and the sealing means providing mechanical isolation of the ferrule relative to the contact body by a force exerted with the another contact such that the sealing means releases from contact with the contact body and is preventing from contacting the contact body when the contact is connected to the another contact.
