Abstract
The present invention relates to an electrical connector, a coupling electrical connector and an electrical connector assembly, the electrical connector including a guiding protuberance protruding from its socket face parallel to a coupling direction, the coupling electrical connector being designed with a guiding pocket for receiving the guiding protuberance. In order to improve the strength of a connection between the two electrical connectors, even when the electrical connector assembly experiences vibrations, the invention provides that at least one of the electrical connectors includes a fixing element which is elastically deformable on at least one section along a direction perpendicular to the coupling direction according to the invention.
