As illustrated in Figure 3 or in Figure 6, the direction of insertion (Ox) of the pin 2 is substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis 6 of the at least one first member 3.
In some examples, the at least one elastically deformable lamellar electrical contact 7 may be configured to be flexed and tensioned elastically by the pin 2 in at least one direction substantially parallel to at least one cross section plane (yOz) substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis 6 of the first member 3.

The plane (P) intersects but does not contain the longitudinal axis 6 of the first member.
