Electrical connector comprising a user protective system

An electrical connector including a male contact and a female contact movable between an uninserted configuration, wherein the male contact is separated from the female contact, and an inserted configuration, wherein an electrically conductive insertable portion of the male contact is inserted along an axis of insertion into a housing defined by the female contact, the female contact including:

• a body, and a plurality of blades (16) protruding axially from the body and angularly distributed around the insertable portion in the inserted configuration, the blades being electrically conductive and radially flexible, the body and the blades defining said housing, and
• a protective system for protecting a user,
• the protective system comprising:
• an electrically insulating jacket surrounding the blades about the axis of insertion and extending axially at least along the blades, the jacket being suitable for preventing a radial electrical contact between a user and the blades,
• an insulating component movable in axial translation with respect to the body between a rest position, intended for being occupied in the uninserted configuration, and wherein the insulating component at least partially closes an entry of the housing and prevents an axial electrical contact between the user and the blades, and a pushed-in position intended for being occupied in the inserted configuration, wherein the insulating component is pushed towards a bottom of the housing by the male contact with respect to the rest position, and
• at least one return mechanism suitable for returning the insulating component from the pushed-in position to the rest position, wherein the insulating component also abuts axially against a stop formed by the female contact.
