Abstract
Connector comprising a base (1) of substantially cylindrical form and a plug (2), connectable to the base in a removable manner to the base (2), in which are disposed a plurality of contacts (3); the base (1) comprising a conducting face (4) on or in which is disposed at least one conducting track (5) forming at least one arc of a circle whose centre (6) is substantially coincident with the centre of the conducting face (4); said track (5) furthermore being disposed in such a way as to permit a mechanical electrical coupling with one of said contacts (3).

1-9. (canceled)
A connector comprising:
- a socket of substantially cylindrical form having a rotation axis, the socket including a face having a plurality of conductive tracks forming circular arcs, each arc having a center that substantially coincides with the rotation axis of the socket;
- and
- a plug configured to be removably connected to the socket, the plug including,
- a plurality of contacts, at least one of the plurality of contacts configured for mechanical electrical coupling with a corresponding one of the plurality of conductive tracks, each one of the plurality of contacts configured to be axially mobile independently of the other contacts,
- a flexible membrane that is traversed by the plurality of contacts, the flexible membrane being seal-tight and configured to exert an individual pressure on each one of the plurality of contacts as a return mechanism towards the socket, and
- a mechanism exerting a return force on each one of the plurality of contacts.
