Abstract

A coupler comprises a first male or female contact (6) or (28) which has at least one contact surface (7), or (32) that, over the effective part of its length at least, is oblique to the mating axis (8). A second female or male contact (1) or (30) comprises at least one finger (2,3) or 33 extending in an axial direction towards the fixed end of the first contact and having an end laterally biassed (for example by spring 5, or springs 34 or 35) towards the contact surface. The dimensions and relative positions of the contacts are such that when they are fully mated the or each finger is deflected and bears only on the oblique contact surface. <IMAGE>
