An electrical connector pin having a link segment for linking to the connector and an end segment that is free, the end segment having a cross-section that is flat and being provided with a slot passing through the end segment in its thickness direction and extending over a length of the free end segment to form two mutually parallel blades, each having a first edge that is straight beside the slot and a second edge extending remotely from the slot and that is provided with a contact portion projecting laterally relative to an outside surface of the link segment, the blades being elastically deformable transversely so as to vary the width of the slot. A connector and an electronic device including such a pin.

Elastic connection pin, connector and electronic device comprising such pins

An electrical connector pin comprising a link segment for linking to the connector and an end segment that is free, the end segment having a cross-section that presents at least one curved portion curved about an axis parallel to a longitudinal direction of the end segment and the end segment having side edges forming electrical contact portions that can be moved towards each other causing the curved portion to deform elastically.
