An optical probe that measures the level of a liquid in a tank includes a transparent and refracting optical waveguide for receiving an injection of a collimated light beam. The optical waveguide internally reflects the collimated light beam according to a total reflection regime in any part of the optical waveguide located in a gaseous medium and refracts the collimated light beam according to a refraction regime in any part of the optical waveguide immersed in a liquid medium. The optical waveguide switches from the total reflection regime to the refraction regime at the interface between the gaseous medium and the liquid medium, and mirrors are arranged around said optical waveguide and reverse the path of a light beam collimated and refracted by the optical waveguide, the optical path covered by the collimated light beam representing the level of the liquid in the tank.

An assembly includes a harness. The harness includes a plurality of electrical cables and a coil. The coil has a body on which said cables are fixed. The coil includes arms mounted on said body, at a first end, each arm having a second end on which one of said cables is fixed. The second end is movable with respect to the body, independently of the second ends of the other arms, between a position for maximum absorption of overlength of cable, in which the second end is remote from the body, and a position for maximum creation of overlength of cable, in which the second end is closer to the body.

An electrical board for connecting two electrical harnesses to each other includes a module holder and at least one connector module to establish the connection between the two electrical harnesses, said connector module comprising a base engaged with the module holder, a perforated core extending the base and allowing connection of the two harnesses to each other via plugs. The module holder includes

Electrical harness connection board

An electrical connection device including a support and an electrically conductive terminal lug, wherein the support includes a first face, with channels projecting from a second face opposite from the first face and defining between them a housing; the terminal lug includes a base for placing in the housing and a shank fastened coaxially to the base, the base including a first face from which the shank extends and a second face opposite from the first face for coming to bear against the second face of the support; the terminal lug including a locking ring having the shank passing through its center and movable in rotation relative to the shank, the ring including ramps extending from the outer periphery of the ring, the ramps co-operating with the channels.
