Abstract:
1. An insertion-type connector for making at least one electrical contact comprising: a housing having an insertion end which is designed for connection by insertion to a complementary insertion-type connector; at least one first contact-making member arranged in the housing, the at least one first contact-making member having a free end adjacent the insertion end, the at least one first contact-making member of the insertion-type connector and at least one part of the housing being movable relative to one another between a first position in which the first contact-making member is drawn back into the housing and a second position in which the free end of the first contact-making member is exposed; at least one second contact-making member arranged in a fixed position relative to the part of the housing and to the first contact-making member, the second contact-making member being electrically connected to the first contact-making member via an electrical sliding contact, such that the sliding contact includes at least one helical spring which makes electrical contact with the first and second contact-making members by opposite radial outer sides of the helix by contact-making pressure at a contact surface.
