ABSTRACT:
A connection device consisting basically of a socket member (1) exhibiting a termination area (2) for the connection of an electric cable and a contact area (4) joined to it by means of a base (1a), the contact area being in the form of tines and intended to receive and hold a mating pin (3), and of a separate driver member (5) in the form of a closed ring which is preferably manufactured of heat recoverable material. In order to create an electrical connection device where the driver member being retained against the contact area, creates both a mechanical force and keyed-in connection between the socket member and the mating pin when in its second functional position, a recess which is at least partial formed into the mating pin, and the tines and driver member are formed and positioned relative to each other in such a way that the driver element partially fits into the recess when in its second functional position. In addition, when using a driver member of heat recoverable material, it is advantageous if at least one locking element is provided which prevents unwanted actuation of the driver element when locked, while permitting appropriate actuation when released.
