(54) Electrical connector


(57) The invention is related to an electrical connector comprising an insulating block (14) containing, in housings (13), socket contact elements (12). Each housing comprises a front shoulder (23) and a rear shoulder (24) on which the contact element (12) bears and which holds it axially.
For this purpose the contact element comprises a flange (3) which holds it to the front and a holding relief (9) which holds it to the back. This relief (9) is tapered forwards (in 10) and the socket (6) is equipped with slots (7) extending beyond the relief (9). This enables the holding relief (9) to pass through the shoulders when inserting the contact element.
