Abstract (en)

[origin: US2015064986A1] An electric connector includes a base adapted to receive a plug, which is able to be plugged into the base along a longitudinal direction in the plugged position. The base and the plug define together an interstitial space. The connector also includes a contact member adapted to radially extend into the interstitial space when the plug is in the plugged position. The contact member is able to ensure electric contact between the plug and the base and includes a metal wire folded back on itself so as to form turns around the longitudinal direction. The turns are in a number of less than or equal to five. A set of electric connectors can include the electric connector and the plug.
