Abstract:
Connector provided with a device for switching between two channels, this device including two blades each having a first free end and a second end, a first, fixed blade connected to a first channel and a second resilient switching blade exerting a contact pressure either on the first, fixed blade or on a pin of another connector, this pin being connected to a second channel and being inserted as required into the connector and wherein the second end of each blade is bent over in a same contact plane so that it is parallel to a contact surface on a printed circuit board and further comprising a hollow body inside which said device for switching is mounted, characterized in thatthe pin of the other connector comes into contact with the second blade at two points which are offset one with respect to the other on the periphery of the pin, a second contact of the second blade with this pin is obtained because this second blade includes a curved side arm which projects so as to be perpendicular to one surface of this second blade and a curvature of which is made along this projection so that upon contact with the pin, the second contact of the second blade biases the second blade against the pin, and that the second end is prestressed so that they are parallel to a contact surface on a printed circuit board and exert a pressure on the base of the hollow body, and one of the blades is provided with an anchoring plate, in an intermediate position, from which two side arms extend, each having an oblique catch for being fastened in a slot in the insulating structure.
