Electrical connector for motor vehicle, includes one contact mounted on spring drawer to ensure this contact is first to make contact with complementary contact

摘要

Two complementary male and female connectors (2,3) are provided with at least two sets of male and female contacts (4,5,6,7,8,9). At least one contact of the first set (5) is mounted on a drawer (10) which can be displaced against a spring (11,12) in a direction parallel to the insertion direction of the connector. The contact rests in a position in front of the other similar contacts, but can be displaced to a second position in alignment with these other contacts. The arrangement ensures that the contacts of the first set make electrical contact before those of the other sets.
