An elastic electrical contact housed in a guide shaft of an apparatus, wherein the guide shaft includes an open front end and an opened back end, and wherein the contact includes a deformable conductor having a front portion and a flexible back portion. A mobile contact head is arranged in an area of the open front end of the guide shaft. A coil spring surrounds the front portion of the deformable conductor. The coil spring extends between the mobile contact head and a retaining sleeve. The retaining sleeve is arranged in an area of the open back end of the guide shaft. The retaining sleeve is fixed to the deformable conductor. The flexible back portion of the deformable conductor extends outwardly from the open back end of the guide shaft. The mobile contact head is connected to a connection terminal of a supply cable via the back portion of the deformable conductor.

1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates to an elastic electrical contact with axial pressure comprising an adjustable connection terminal.
2. Description of Background and Relevant Information
The invention will be more readily understood from the description below and the only accompanying drawing (FIG. 1) which is a sectional view of a part of a removable hold of a connector provided with at least one contact according to the invention.
The FIGURE shows part of an apparatus to be equipped A, which in this case, is a removable hold of a connector provided with at least one contact according to the invention.
The removable hold shown is obviously given as an example and it can be an electrical outlet.
The contact 1 is provided in an insulating place or guide shaft 2, also called contact support, provided in the apparatus A, said guide shaft being open at both ends.
The contact 1 has a contact head 3 which is movably and longitudinally mounted in the guide shaft 2. As shown in the drawings, the contact head is retained in the guide shaft 2 by a choke in the latter and electrically connected to a retaining element 4 (FIG. 1), provided in the base of the guide shaft 2 by a deformable conductive braid 5 which can be deformed by crushing.
