ABSTRACT:
A connector for electrical and mechanical connection to an overhead conductor (1) and for constituting the female portion of a telescopic isolating switch suitable for co-operating electrically with a male portion (6) of said switch. The connector includes the improvement whereby it comprises a plurality of metal conductors (17) which are curved and regularly disposed in such a manner as to define meridians of a substantially spherical surface, the top ends of said conductors being fixed to a metal block (2A-2B) which is electrically connected and mechanically fixed to said overhead conductor. The bottom ends of said curved metal conductors each include a rectilinear portion (7A) which is inclined relative to the vertical in such a manner as to define an inlet cone for the male connector portion, followed by a hairpin bend portion having two arms, one of which serves as a contact finger for making electrical contact with the male connector portion.
