- a first short side has two fingers 302, 304, while the Another short side has a finger intended to be interposed between the two fingers 302, 304.
- the electrical connection system 100 may for example be used to connect a power supply unit to a power steering motor of a motor vehicle.
- the bus bar is electrically connected to one of the power box and the motor, while the electrical conductor 123 belongs to another bus bar electrically connected to the other one of the power box and the motor. .
- the invention is particularly interesting in this case, because, firstly, the power box and the power steering motor are generally in a congested environment so that the bus bar 1 12 is difficult to access. This problem is solved by the fact that the connector 122 is guided by the side walls 104 of the cell and automatically clings to the bus bar 1 12 when inserted in the cell. In addition, when mounting the motor vehicle, it is often necessary to repeatedly disconnect and reconnect the power supply, for example to perform tests or adjustments. However, the first contact 126 can receive the electrical conductor 123 removably, that is to say that the electrical conductor can easily be disengaged from the first contact 126.
- the contacts 126, 134 could be male contacts intended to be received in female contacts.
- the inner portion 1 16 of the bus bar 1 12 could have a female contact.
- hook or hooks 142, 144 could be carried by the plug 1 18, while the fastening system of the connector would comprise one or more recesses in which the hook or hooks would respectively intended to engage.
