Connecteur qui comprend une pièce de verrouillage (35) située à l'intérieur de la partie de connexion (25) d'une borne femelle (20) et qui se verrouille élastiquement avec une borne mâle (10), une partie suiveuse (38) située sur les deux bords de la pièce de verrouillage (35), une partie à fonction de came (53) formée sur les deux parois opposées d'une cavité (41), qui vient en contact avec la partie suiveuse (38) lorsqu'un boîtier (40) se déplace de l'état verrouillé des bornes mâle et femelle (20, 10) dans le sens arrière, et provoque le déplacement élastique de la pièce de verrouillage (35) dans une direction de libération du verrouillage, et des parties de précontrainte de contact souple (51, 52) formées sur la partie arrière de la partie à fonction de came (53), qui sont en contact avec la partie suiveuse (38) au niveau du trajet d'introduction de la borne femelle (20) et qui provoquent le glissement de la partie suiveuse (38) dans un état de contact élastique, en conjonction avec le déplacement élastique de la pièce de verrouillage (35). Une partie de maintien (52) de l'ampleur de déplacement qui maintient l'ampleur de déplacement de la pièce de verrouillage (35) à un niveau constant est formée sur la partie de précontrainte de contact élastique dans une zone qui correspond à une position sur un trajet d'introduction se trouvant face à une position dans laquelle une lance (45) se déplace vers l'arrière et verrouille la borne femelle (20).
