ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to an electric connector with a contact element of shape-memory material.
The connector has at least one conducting male part and/or a female part intended to be inserted the one into the other for ensuring or breaking electric conduction. One at least of the male or female parts is of a shape-memory conductive material, at least at its active contact end. The male or female part is formed in a manner to enable its tight adaption to the complementary female or male part in a first shape-memory state and to enable ensurance of disengagement of the complementary female or male part in a second shape-memory state.
Application to electric connectors used in electromechanics aeronautical or space electronic installations, information or telematic material.
