In an electrical connector which has to withstand very high short-duration currents (such as short-circuit currents), a connector element A is in the form of a socket 2; the other connector element B is in the form of a plug 1 capable of interacting with the socket and having a diameter proportional to the square root of the time that the current is flowing; the electrical connection between plug and socket is provided by a bracelet-shaped annular contact 4 which is elastically deformable radially and has a Greek-key pattern, having a surface made of soft metal such as gold and providing a multiplicity of contact points 7, 8 which are as numerous and close together as possible. <IMAGE>
