Patent ID: 7144278

Claim:
A plug connector designed to be inserted into a fixed-base connector along a connection axis, comprising an insulating body provided with cavities, each cavity defining an inner periphery, at least one first compression contact terminal, elongated along an elongation axis and designed to be connected to the fixed-base connector by means of a second corresponding contact terminal, the first compression contact terminal being inserted into one of the cavities, and the first contact terminal comprising a connection end designed to be connected to a printed circuit board, an intermediate spring part, and a contact end designed to be connected to the second corresponding contact terminal of the fixed-base connector, wherein the contact end of the first contact terminal comprises at least one protuberance which has a cut-out face to force a lateral movement of the contact end when this protuberance slides against the inner periphery of the cavity, resulting in compression of the intermediate spring part when the contact end is brought into contact with a facial contact end of the second contact terminal, and wherein the first contact terminal is a flat planar member with the protuberance formed at an edge of the flat planar member along a plane of the flat planar member.
