Abstract: The invention relates to an electrical or optical connector of the type comprising a fixed male connector part or receptacle (3) having at least one axial contact pin (7), and a mobile female connector part or plug (1) capable of being coupled to the said receptacle (3) on its front part and having a female contact part, receiving the contact pin (7) upon coupling of the connector, the said plug (1) having a rear handle (11) allowing the coupling or uncoupling manoeuvre of the connector, for example by a remote-controlled vehicle, by means of an arm and an end pincer for gripping the said handle (11), characterized in that the rear body part (15) of the plug (1) has a cavity (19), capturing with limited angular displacement in axial alignment a ball-joint element (13) rigidly fixed to the said rear handle (11), the said ball-joint element (13) being held in along the axis of the plug (1) by a spring means (35), the ball-joint element (13) also comprising at least one longitudinal spline designed to engage int

Abstract: The invention relates to a safe hermaphroditic electrical connector.This connector, consisting of two identical connector parts (1, 1') connected to each other in the service position, is characterized in that it has, for each connector part (1, 1'), at least one electrical contact (17, 17') located in the mid-plane of the connector, and a contact-blocking shutter (51, 51') which protects the contact (17, 17') from any intrusion and which opens during the mating of the connector parts (1, 1').

Abstract: This invention concerns an electrical connector of the actuation handle type. This connector has an actuation handle (1) in the shape of a stirrup, mounted articulated on the casing of the fixed element or base (3) of the connector, handle (1) being provided with two inner grooves (25, 23), respectively open toward the top for manipulation of cover (7) and open toward the bottom for the manipulation of plug member (5), and cover (7) and plug member (5) each have two lateral catches (27, 29) cooperating respectively with said grooves (25, 23) for their said manipulation, handle (1) being, moreover, mounted articulated on a flexible axial joint (19) allowing easy passage through a hard point of entrainment of catches (27, 29) on the profile of each of grooves (25, 23) before locking at the end of the course of the grooves, with recall, by placing pressure on cover (7) or plug member (5) respectively in their closed or plugged-in position.

Abstract: The invention relates to an electrical contact intended especially for connecting at least two coupled or linked appliances or vehicles electrically.This contact comprises a first conventional electrical contact part (1, 7) and a second part (11, 13) adjacent to the contact part and forming a reversible mechanical junction for the electrical contact, the junction being makable manually under no voltage and breakable under no voltage in response to a specific pulling force.
