Abstract:
Electrical socket connector ( 10 ) for pluggable connection to a complementary plug connector ( 40 ), comprising a casing ( 11 ), a connection terminal assembly ( 13 ) mounted in the casing for connection to a complementary connection terminal assembly ( 43 ) of the plug connector, an identification system for identification of the plug connector, and an electronic switch ( 32 ) for secure connection between the socket and plug connectors. The identification system comprises a display unit ( 12 ) for connection status and a processing unit configured to read a plug identifier provided by an identifier module ( 46 ) of the plug connector each time the socket and plug connectors are connected together, and to control the electronic switch and the visual aspect of the display unit based on the plug identifier output.

Claim (Index 55):
Method of controlling secure connection history between a socket connector and a disposable plug connector, the socket connector comprising a plug ID reader and an electronic switch, the disposable plug connector comprising a plug identifier and a non-volatile memory in which is stored an integer representing a maximum number of allowed connection cycles between the plug connector and the socket connector, the method comprising the steps of:\n i) connecting the plug and socket connectors together; ii) reading of the plug identifier by the plug ID reader; iii) determining whether the integer has reached a predetermined value if the read-out of plug ID reader is positive; iv) modifying the integer stored in the memory of the plug connector each time a secure connection is established between the plug and socket connectors as long as the integer has not reached the predetermined value; and v) setting the electronic switch to an open state when the integer has reached a predetermined value.
