An electrical connector including a first (1) and second (2) assembly that are matable with one another by a sliding push fit to establish electrical interconnection between the two assemblies. The first assembly includes a male contact pin (16) element and a collar (14) extending concentrically around the pin element to define a recess there between, the collar supporting on its inner surface first resilient contact means (18). The second assembly includes the sleeve (24) open at least at one end such that the sleeve can be received in the recess of the first assembly, the sleeve supporting on its inner surface second resilient contact means (26). The two assemblies may be arranged such that when the second assembly is inserted in the first assembly, the first resilient contact means makes sliding electrical contact with an external surface of the sleeve of the second assembly, and the second resilient contact means makes sliding electrical contact with the external surface of the pin element of the first assembly. |
