    caractérisé en ce que l'élément de court-circuit (32) comporte au moins un élément élastique, en particulier un tronçon de contact élastique (100) qui, dans l'état de court-circuit, repose sur l'un des éléments de contact (26) et qui peut être éloigné de l'élément de contact (26), par déplacement de l'élément de sécurité (22) dans la position de sécurité.
  7. Dispositif de connexion à fiches selon l'une des revendications précédentes,
    caractérisé en ce que l'un des éléments de contact comporte un tronçon de contact élastique qui, dans l'état de court-circuit, repose sur l'élément de court-circuit et qui peut être éloigné de l'élément de court-circuit, par déplacement de l'élément de sécurité dans la position de sécurité.
  8. Dispositif de connexion à fiches selon l'une des revendications 6 ou 7,
    caractérisé en ce que l'élément de sécurité (22) comporte une languette qui, par déplacement de l'élément de sécurité (22) dans la position de sécurité, est déplaçable entre le tronçon de contact (100) et l'élément de contact (26) ou l'élément de court-circuit (32).
