ABSTRACT:
An electrical contact for connecting a trailer to the electrical system of a towing vehicle is disclosed. The contact includes two contact parts designed to be detachably connected together. One contact part is preferably adapted for fixed mounting and the other for mounting on a cable. One of the contact parts is provided with flat, protruding pins as contact elements and the other contact part is provided with spring-loaded, depressed, flat pins, the ends of which do not protrude beyond the outer limiting wall of the contact part. The pins of the two contact parts are arranged to be pushed toward each other to produce electrical contact between opposing surfaces. The cable-mounted contact part is provided with an upper, protruding front section, designed to be inserted behind a shoulder on the upper rear section of the preferably fixed contact, in order to connect the contact parts by means of a downward lever movement.
