Tightly sealed connection assembly with pivoting valves

A connector assembly, comprising:

• a plug (10) that comprises a body (11), an insert (12) fitted in the body, and contacts (13) housed longitudinally in the insert;
• and
• a socket (20) comprising a body (21), with a spacer (27) and an insert (22) both fitted inside the body, the spacer providing a mechanical link between the insert (22) and the body, and said insert having contacts (23) housed longitudinally therein,
• the body (11) of the plug being capable of being inserted into the body of the socket during a coupling, providing for a connection of the contacts (13) of the plug with the contacts (23) of the insert of the socket,
• wherein the plug comprises a front face closed by a first closure valve (15) positioned perpendicular to a central axis of the plug,
• wherein the socket comprises a front face closed by a second closure valve (25) positioned perpendicular to a central axis of the socket, and
• wherein the first closure valve (15) and the second closure valve (25) comprise pivot links (16, 26, 19, 29) suitable for both pivoting simultaneously about a geometrical pivoting axis that is perpendicular to the central axis of the plug and the central axis of the socket during a coupling of the plug and the socket, said closure valve (15) and said second closure valve (25) both being housed inside the plug and the socket when said plug and said socket are coupled.
