Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft ein elektrisches Kontaktelement umfassend
Elektrisches Kontaktelement umfassend
- ein Basiselement 1, das
- aus einem flachen Material mit einer hohen elektrischen Leitfähigkeit geformt ist,
- einen Leiterkontaktabschnitt 2 aufweist,
- einen einstückig sich an den Leiterkontaktabschnitt 2 anschließenden und zu einem Kastenquerschnitt geformten Basisabschnitt 4 aufweist, der eine obere Wand 5 mit einem Durchbruch 6, der oberen Wand 5 gegenüberliegend eine Bodenwand 7 sowie zwei diese verbindende Seitenwände 8, 9 aufweist, und
- einen sich einstückig an den Basisabschnitt 4 vom Leiterkontaktabschnitt 2 weg anschließenden Flachsteckerstift 16 aufweist, welcher zwei übereinander angeordnete Stiftabschnitte 17a, 17b umfaßt, und

- ein federndes Halteelement 18, das
- aus einem Federstahlblech geformt ist,
- einen flachen Stiftverstärkungsabschnitt 19 aufweist, welcher zwischen den beiden Stiftabschnitten 17a, 17b angeordnet ist,
- einen vom Stiftverstärkungsabschnitt 19 ausgehenden und sich an die Bodenwand 7 innen anlegenden Zwischenabschnitt 20 aufweist und
einen zum Zwischenabschnitt 20 abgewinkelten und aus dem Durchbruch 6 austretenden federnden Halteabschnitt 21 aufweist, der eine Stützkante 23 bildet.

The invention relates to an electrical contact element comprising
Comprising electrical contact element
- A base element 1, the
- is formed from a flat material with a high electrical conductivity,
has a conductor contact section 2,
- An integrally adjoining the conductor contact portion 2 and formed into a box cross-section base portion 4 having an upper wall 5 with an opening 6, the upper wall 5 opposite a bottom wall 7 and two connecting these side walls 8, 9, and
- Has a one-piece to the base portion 4 away from the conductor contact portion 2 away flat pin 16, which comprises two superimposed pin portions 17 a, 17 b, and

- A resilient retaining element 18, the
- is formed from a spring steel sheet,
a flat pin reinforcement section 19, which is arranged between the two pin sections 17a, 17b,
- Having an outgoing from the pin reinforcement portion 19 and on the bottom wall 7 internally applying intermediate portion 20 and
has an angled to the intermediate portion 20 and emerging from the opening 6 resilient holding portion 21 which forms a support edge 23.
