(DE19752030-A1)      The connector comprises a male and a female connector. The male connector (2) includes a cylindrical contact section divided by slits extending along it from the outer end, forming a number of arms. The contact is held in an insulating housing and a piece of silicone rubber (90) engages the contact on the inside surfaces of the arms.    The female connector (100) is also held in an insulating housing and is equipped with another cylindrical contact section that engages the outer surface of the male contact when the connectors are engaged. The piece of rubber drives the arms outward against the female connector when they are bent inward by the mating contact.    ADVANTAGE -   The connector provides good and uniform electrical connection over a broad area even when the male and female connectors are not properly aligned.
