Hermaphrodite contact and a connection defined by a pair of such contacts

A hermaphrodite contact, flat and substantially rectangular in shape, comprising a first end portion and a corresponding first end edge, a second end portion and a corresponding second end edge of said contact opposite said first end portion and said first end edge, an intermediate portion between said first and second end portions, at least one resilient arm which extends along said intermediate and second end portions and defines a hermaphrodite coupling terminal arm along said second end portion of the contact for hermaphrodite coupling of said contact to another substantially identical contact provided with at least one corresponding resilient arm, at least one truncated branch which extends from the first end portion towards the second end portion and along each resilient arm and is shorter than this resilient arm, and a main insulating displacement fork which extends substantially along the intermediate portion of the contact and between each resilient arm and the truncated branch and has an opening access facing the second end portion of said contact.
