Abstract
The present invention describes a socket of an electrical connector having at least one contact element. The contact element has a first end region, a contact area for electrical contact with a plug and a second end region. The first and/or the second end region according to the present invention is/are displaceable in the radial direction.
Claims12
A socket of an electrical connector, comprising:
- at least one flexible contact element having a first end region, a contact area configured for electrical contact with a plug, and a second end region;
- a pressing device, for pressing the first and/or the second end region against a contact surface of the socket in an axial direction;
- and
- both end regions are displaceable in a radial direction when the plug is inserted into the socket.
