Abstract

Die einstückig ausgebildete Kontaktfeder weist zwei in einem kastenförmigen Kontaktteil (1) zurückgebogene Federarme (25, 27) auf, die sich zur Entlastung der Umbiegung an einer Abstützeinrichtung (29) abstützen. Die Abstützeinrichtung (29) ist vom vorderen Ende der Umbiegung um etwa das zwei- bis fünffache der Dicke der Boden- bzw. Deckenwandung (11, 15) der Kontaktfeder in das Kasteninnere zurückversetzt angeordnet. In einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung können die Federarme (25, 27) von Stützarmen (21, 23), die an der Bodenwandung (11) und Deckenwandung (15) herausgebogen sind, abgestützt werden.

Figure 00000001
The one-piece contact spring has two spring arms (25, 27) which are bent back in a box-shaped contact part (1) and which are supported on a support device (29) in order to relieve the bending. The support device (29) is arranged from the front end of the bend to about two to five times the thickness of the bottom or top wall (11, 15) of the contact spring set back into the box interior. In a development of the invention, the spring arms (25, 27) can be supported by support arms (21, 23) which are bent out on the bottom wall (11) and top wall (15).
