Device provided with at least one laser diode and assembly including such a device and a connector to an electric power supply

A device comprising:

• a connector having a male part and a female part and a laser diode supported on said male part;
• said female part having first and second electrical contacts connectable to a power supply;
• said male part comprising,
• first and second conductive connecting members connected to said diode and insertable into said female part to make contact with said first and second electrical contacts, respectively;
• first and second electrically conductive elements, said first and second electrically conductive elements being electrically connected together and normally in contact with said first and second conductive connecting members, respectively, when said male part and said female part are apart;
• said female part having an insulated portion acting on said first and second electrically conductive elements, as said first and second conductive connecting members are inserted into said female part, to break electrical connection between said first and second electrically conductive elements and said first and second conductive connecting members after said first and second conductive connecting members have made electrical contact with said first and second electrical contacts.
