The invention relates to an interposed electrical connector which is intended to connect two stacked electronic circuits and to the method of mounting same. The inventive connector (1) comprising plugs (4) which are borne by a base (4), a guide (11) and guide means (12) which are disposed between the guide and the base. According to the invention, at least some of the aforementioned plugs (4) project out from the base (10) such that they can be slid into a housing (13) that passes through the guide (11). The guide means (12) comprise a first projecting part (14) which is solidly connected to the base (10) and a second complementary part (15) which is solidly connected to the guide (11). The base (10) is intended to be fixed to a first circuit while the first part (14) of the guide means (12) is intended to be guided through the second part (15) of the guide means (12) as well as a second circuit (3). The mounting method is characterised in that the guide masks the free ends of the plugs before the connector is mounted to the circuits thereof.
An inserted electrical connector 1 for interlinking two superimposed electronic circuits 2, 3, comprising electrically conducting plugs 4 each of which is intended to ensure an electrical connection between a first electrical contact area 5 borne by the first electronic circuit 2 and a second electrical contact area 6 borne by the second electrical circuit 3, wherein it comprises a base 10 made of electrically insulating material with plugs 4, a guide 11 made of electrically insulating material, and a guiding means 12 attached thereto and located between the guide and the base, wherein at least some of the plugs 4 project from the base 10 so that the free end of each one can fit into and slide in a housing 13 passing through the guide 11, and wherein the guiding means 12 comprise a projecting first part 14 attached to the base 10 and an additional second part 15 mounted on the first part 14 and attached to the guide 11.
