Abstract
A female contact, in particular for a high tension section switch, the female contact comprising two interleaved thimbles, a metal first thimble made by extruding a block of metal and then machining it, said first thimble having metal contact fingers designed for co-operating electrically with a male contact, the other thimble including fingers of an insulating material, the insulating fingers limiting the displacement of the metal contact fingers in a radial direction and in a lateral direction to predetermined values that are less than the elastic limit of deformation of the metal contact fingers, and serving in particular to prevent contact between the metal contact fingers.
