Electrical connector comprising two pluralities of flexible strips, one surrounding the other in an inserted configuration of the connector

An electrical connector comprising a first contact and a second contact movable between an non-inserted configuration, wherein the first contact is at a distance from the second contact, and an inserted configuration, wherein an electrically conductive insertable part of the first contact is inserted along an axis of insertion into a housing defined by the second contact, the first contact comprising a first electrically conductive body from which the insertable part protrudes axially, the second contact comprising a second electrically conductive body, and a first plurality of flexible strips protruding axially from the second body and angularly distributed around the insertable part in the inserted configuration, the first plurality of flexible strips being electrically conductive and radially flexible, the second body and the first plurality of flexible strips defining the housing,

• wherein the first contact further comprises an electrically conductive first additional part protruding axially from the first body and surrounding the insertable part about the axis of insertion;
• wherein the second contact further comprises an electrically conductive second additional part protruding axially from the second body and surrounding the first plurality of flexible strips about the axis of insertion, the first additional part and the second additional part are suitable for radially pressing against each other and for being in electrical contact with each other in the inserted configuration, and for being at a distance from each other in the non-inserted configuration;
• wherein the first additional part comprises one amongst a ring and a second plurality of flexible strips which are distributed angularly about the axis of insertion and are radially flexible, the second additional part comprising the other amongst the ring and the second plurality of flexible strips;
• wherein the electrical connector further comprises at least one annular pressure member arranged on faces of the second plurality of flexible strips, the pressure member being suitable for exerting, in the inserted configuration, a radial pressure on the second plurality of flexible strips toward the ring;
• and
• wherein the at least one annular pressure member comprises a material having a coefficient of thermal expansion greater than or equal to a coefficient of thermal expansion of the second plurality of flexible strips, and greater than or equal to a coefficient of thermal expansion of the ring.
