Abstract

The connector comprises two conector portions (1, 3), each of which comprises an inner contact member (5, 49) which is coaxially surrounded by an outer contact member (23, 59) whereto it is mechanically connected via an insulating body (9, 53). At its free end each contact member (5, 23, 49, 59) comprises a contact face (5', 23', 49', 59') which extends perpendicularly to its axis, at least one (5', 59') of each pair of cooperating contact faces (5', 23'; 49', 59') being so large that, after the coupling of the two connector portions (1, 3), a suitable electrical connection is realized between the cooperating contact members (5, 23; 49, 59) it the axes of the two connector portions have been displaced with respect to one another no more than a predetermined distance (d). The contact members (5, 23) of at least the first connector portion (1) are independently movable in the axial direction against the force of a spring (19, 29) in order to compensate for axial tolerances in the position of the connector portions (1, 3).
