Abstract
The electrical connector comprises a base A having a body (1) with a front tubular skirt (2) in which is held at least one ball that can be radially displaced and a pin having a body (4) that can be inserted in the skirt and having at least one imprint for receiving the ball. The pin also has a locking ring (6) repelled axially on the body towards [from?] a front stop position and a ball driver ring (7) radially interposed between the body of the pin and the locking ring, having a sliding keying with the locking ring and having an inner diameter such that it holds the ball inside when it [the ring] covers it [the ball]. A sleeve (24) has a sliding keying with the pin body. A first elastic means, interposed between the pin body and the sleeve, pushes the sleeve towards a ratcheted position with the ball driver ring. A second elastic means, interposed between the sleeve and the ball driver ring, tends to move them apart from one another.
