ABSTRACT:
An electric connector includes a housing (10) of elecrically-insulating material having a base (11) and two side walls (12, 13). These define a longitudinal slot (14) into which a plug member (20) may be inserted. A plurality of projecting walls (16) define a number of transverse openings (15) extending from the longitudinal slot (14), and each of these openings contains an electrically-conducting contact member (17) having a contact portion (18) which may extend into the longitudinal slot (14).
Control means are provided comprising a bar (22) located in and movable along the longitudinal slot (14), the bar being supported such that such movement causes the bar (22) to rise and fall in the slot. When the bar (22) is in its uppermost position the contact portions (18) of the contact members (17) are retracted from the longitudinal slot (14) into their respective transverse openings (15).
