Abstract:
1. An electrical connector comprising a cover equipped with at least one first electrical contact, a case equipped with at least one second electrical contact, and a disconnection device that cooperates with the cover and with the case in order to establish an electrical connection between the first contact and the second contact, which defines a connected state, and in order to bring about a disconnection between the first and the second contact, which defines a disconnected state, characterized in that the electrical connector also comprises a first lock which is adapted to maintain the disconnection device in the connected state, a release which is adapted to act on the first lock in order to permit movement of the disconnection device from the connected state to the disconnected state of the first and second contacts, and an elastic member between the case and the cover, said elastic member being capable of being moved between a first deformed position in the connected state and a second relaxed position in the disconnected state, bringing about a separation of the case with respect to the cover while disconnecting the first contacts from the second contacts when the elastic member changes its position from the deformed position toward the relaxed position, when the movement of the disconnection device is triggered by the release.
