Abstract
An electrical connector including an insulated receptacle having a front wall with openings provided with at least one channel which emerges into a opening for receiving a female electrical contact member. The channel is provided with a means for biasing to cooperate with corresponding means for retention on the electrical contact member so as to ensure the secure positioning of the electrical contact member when it is put in place in the channel. The channel has a cross-sectional dimension greater than of the electrical contact member and tapers gradually on the front face towards the opposite end of the insulating box. The electrical contact member is provided with a flared opening at its end which turns towards the front face of the insulated box. The openings in the front face of the insulated box have dimensions less than those of the corresponding ends of the electrical contact member so that the electrical contact member is retained axially between the means for retaining and the front face of the insulated box, but are permitted to move laterally within the channel.
