Abstract
The invention concerns a plug connector () equipped with compression contact terminals (). In order to clean each of the contact surfaces of at least one first compression contact terminal () of a plug connector () and of a second contact terminal () of a connector with fixed base () respectively, the invention provides for at least one first contact terminal () of the plug connector including a contact end (), Which contact end is provided with at least protuberance () mounted at the tip of its elongated part () extending in a plane perpendicular to an elongation axis () of said contact end and/or to a connection axis (). Said protuberance comprises a cut out panel () to cause a forced lateral displacement of the contact end when said protuberance is urged to slide against an inner periphery () of the cavity, so as to obtain a reorientation of the elongation axis of the contact end relative to the connection axis upon electrical connection between the first contact terminal and the second contact terminal.
