Connection base

A connection base permitting a second electric component to be detachably attached to a first electric component and electrically connecting the two electric components, each electric component comprising a plurality of connection elements, the connection base comprising:

• a support held between the first electric component and the second electric component comprising a plurality of through openings disposed in the same way as said connection elements;
• a plurality of conductive pins, wherein one end of each pin is in electrical contact with a connection element of the first electric component and the other end is in electrical contact with a connection element of the second electric component, one of said pins being disposed in each of said through openings, said pins being longitudinally and loosely held within said through openings, each of said pins defining a space in said through openings at an end of each of said pins so that said pins are set back in relation to at least one end of said openings;
• and
• an electrically conductive, longitudinally compressible element housed in at least one of said spaces to establish an electrical contact between each pin and the corresponding connection element of the first electric component and/or the corresponding connection element of the second electric component detachably mounted, the length of said compressible element being such that it does not protrude beyond the openings of the support when said electric components are mounted.
