Abstract

A cordless electrical connector part comprises at least one annular slot 6 for receiving an annular contact member 28 and an electrical contact 18 disposed in said slot for making electrical connection with the annular contact member 28. A portion of said annular slot 6 in the vicinity of said contact 18 is provided with restrictions 10 so as to make that portion of the slot 6 locally narrower than the rest of the slot 6.
