ABSTRACT:
A two-part electrical connector is provided with contact elements having butting contacting surfaces for making electrical contact between the two parts. In one of the two parts, at least one of the elements has a contacting surface which is laterally displaceable relative to a principal axis of the contact element and which may also be axially displaceable along the same principal axis of the contact element. In the the other of the two parts, at least one of the elements has a contacting surface angled to a principal axis of the contact element. A wiping action is thereby provided between the respective contacting surfaces of the two contact elements when the two parts of the connector engage. The connector may be employed with mobile or portable equipment, where the first part of the connector is associated with other equipment, and the other part of the connector is mounted upon the mobile or portable equipment. (FIGS. 4 & 8)
