ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector comprises a supporting base (210); a locking clip (217) disposed in an open recess (214) in the base, the clip being constituted by a body defining a cavity having resilient stop means (218, 219); and an electrical contact disposed (221) co-operatively in the body of the clip. Said contact is constituted by an oblong member with a ring (220) rigidly mounted therearound and is situated in the cavity in such a manner that the ring (220) co-operates on one side (223) with the stop means (218, 219) to limit its displacement in one direction. The cavity is delimited at the other side (224) by at least one resilient tongue (233) turned towards the inside of the cavity, the tongue being suitable for co-operating with the other side of the ring in such a manner that the distance between the stop means (218, 219) and the contact surface of the tongue (233) is less than the thickness of the ring. This ensures that the tongue exerts a resilient force against the ring, thereby keeping the ring pressed against the stop means and preventing it from rattling about in the cavity and damaging the relatively soft supporting base.
