Abstract: A connector comprising a substantially cylindrical base and a plug connectable to the base in a detachable manner, in which connector a plurality of contacts are mounted in a contact block, wherein the contact block includes a flexible membrane through which the contacts extend, the compression of the membrane allowing the sealing at the interface between the membrane and the contacts to be ensured.

Abstract: The contact is sealed when disconnected and compliant when connected. It comprises at least a contact body in which the following are positioned: a transmission means held in a support at the end of which a ferrule is positioned, the seal between the ferrule and the transmission means being provided by filling with a sealant product. A sealing means is provided between the ferrule and the contact body, said means creating a seal between the ferrule and the contact body when the contact is disconnected and allowing the mechanical isolation of the ferrule relative to the contact body when the contact is connected.

Abstract: The invention relates to a connector which includes basic parts that can be assembled and nested together, forming a high-density connector technology for hermaphroditic contacts.

Abstract: The invention relates to an alignment socket supporting system for connectors, such as optical connectors, comprising: the assembly of parts, allowing more than one alignment socket to be secured in a pre-determined manner and the extraction and insertion of all of the alignment sockets simultaneously without dismantling the assembly, and locking means for locking the system once inserted.

Abstract: The invention relates to a connector which includes basic parts that can be assembled and nested together, forming a high-density connector technology for hermaphroditic contacts.

Abstract: The invention relates to an electrical connector comprising a male contact block and a female contact block. Each of said blocks is mounted in a metallic guide (1, 2) consisting of a cylindrical proximal part (3, 4) and a distal part (5, 6) representing a cylindrical portion, both distal parts (5, 6) being of a complementary nature so as to form a cylinder when the connector is closed. The inventive electrical connector is characterised in that the proximal (3, 4) or distal (5, 6) part of one of the guides (1, 2) comprises a projecting part (7) which is housed in an opening (8) in the distal (6, 5) or proximal (4, 3) part of the other guide (2, 1).
