Abstract

La présente invention se rapporte à un connecteur électrique à démontage rapide comportant un connecteur mâle et un connecteur femelle dotés chacun de segments opposés, composés de fils souples, qui s'accouplent lorsque les deux connecteurs sont assemblés. Les segments de fils du connecteur femelle sont situés sur une paroi souple qui fléchit pour permettre l'accouplement avec l'autre connecteur. Un bourrelet périphérique est formé dans le moule de surmoulage (14) du connecteur mâle et une rainure correspondante est formée dans le moule de surmoulage (12) du connecteur femelle aux fins de la création d'un indicateur tactile (7A) indiquant que la connexion est effectuée et de la fixation fiable des deux connecteurs accouplés l'un avec l'autre.
