Electrical connector for detecting discontinuities in an electrical network

An electrical connector capable of detection of discontinuities in an electrical network and comprising:

• a body comprising a first terminal able to be connected to a first equipment part of the electrical network, a second terminal able to be connected to a second equipment part of the electrical network, and a third terminal able to be connected to a reflectometer distinct from the first and second equipment parts of the electrical network;
• at least one electrical coupler in the body;
• a primary conductor connecting the first terminal to the second terminal;
• and
• at least one secondary conductor connecting the third terminal to the electrical coupler,
• wherein the electrical coupler is adapted to inject into the primary conductor an electrical test signal input in the electrical connector through the third terminal then transmitted by the secondary conductor, and to transmit to the secondary conductor then to the third terminal an electrical response signal generated by reflection of the electrical test signal on a discontinuity found in the electrical network, then input in the electrical connector through the first terminal or the second terminal.
