Abstract: A connector with a retractable base plate to protect its contact outlets, the connector functioning to ensure connections between various parts of television type cathode ray tubes and correspoding printed circuits, comprises a contact holder casing, a sliding base part supporting the contact holder casing, the sliding base part having hollowed out housings, integral therein, contact outlets into which the housings are respectfully inserted, guiding and click and spring work systems for maintaining said contact outlets in said housing, the aforementioned guiding and click and locking systems functioning to lock the base plate onto the casing whereby pressure brought on the casing perpendicular to the printed circuit causes the base plate coming into contact with the printed circuit to undergo translation, effectuating the passage of contact end pieces from the housing through holes in the base plate whereby the contact outlets can be brazed.
