Abstract

A pin-shaped contact element to be connected or fastened in a metallized conductor plate bore has a fastening portion with two sidepieces which are movable towards each other and which are connected to each other by a resilient, undulating connecting bridge, the edges of the side pieces which come into contact with the bore walls and the juncture between the bridge and the side pieces being rounded.
