Abstract
A plug for connection by pressure contact is provided with metal zones. The metal zones are brought into contact with metal zones of a socket. The plug is secured to the socket by catches. The catches are situated in intermediate positions relative to two reaction forces exerted by the socket. At least one of the reaction forces is resilient. Accordingly, the combined pressure and insertion connectors enable at least two connections to be made simultaneously from the socket to two different items of equipment.
