Abstract:
1. Electrical connector comprising a first connector element and a second connector element carrying respective contacts and interconnected so as to be movable, along a coupling direction, between an uncoupled state and a coupled state, said connector further comprising a sliding element mounted in the first connector element so as to be slidable, in a direction orthogonal to said direction of coupling, between an extended position and a retracted position in said first connector element, said sliding element having one or more cam tracks, each engaged by an element of the second connector element in such a way that a movement of the sliding element from the extended position thereof to the retracted position thereof in said first connector element causes the second connector element to move into the coupled state, wherein each cam follower element of the second connector element engages the respective cam track via a rolling element mounted rotatably on said cam follower element.
