Abstract
The connector comprises an insulating support 20 in which are provided uniformly spaced passages and electrical signal contacts, each intended to connect a pad and a track, which are arranged in at least some of the passages. The contacts are each constituted by a cut-out sheet, having a relatively rigid portion comprising a branch for bearing on the lower face of the support and for connection with a track and a branch for fastening onto the support (20), extending towards the upper face and having a relatively flexible S-shaped portion whose proximal end is integral with the relatively rigid portion and whose distal end projects beyond the upper face of the support, the flexible portion having curvatures at rest such that the distal end is then away from the fastening branch and the passage having dimensions such that it deforms the flexible portion when the contact is inserted into the support until it brings the distal portion into connection with the fastening branch, in order to constitute a short-circuit.
