<p>In a connector consisting of an electric contact body (11) and an elastic socket (12) surrounding this body and presenting a longitudinal slot (43), the fixing of the socket to the contact body is as follows: the socket parts (12) which define together the longitudinal slot (43), have each an opening (51), said opening being engaged in an locking manner by an anchoring cam (53) of the contact body extending outwards. Between each opening (51) and the longitudinal slot (53) there is provided a stop (55) which, with the neighbouring anchoring cam (53) maintains the socket (12) tight in close contact with the periphery of a cylindrical part of the contact body (11). When manufacturing the connector, a cut piece of sheet metal for the socket is U-shaped, the branches and the bottom of the U extending each along an arc of a circle, on 120 about, with a curve adapted to the contour of the contact body (11). The contact body (11) provided with anchoring cams (53) is inserted in the U-shaped sheet metal so that the anchoring cams (53) are separated by the bottom of the U. The branches of the U are then pushed laterally towards the contact body (11) causing the stops (55) to move over the anchoring cams (53) and finally they are brought in locking engagement. </p> |
