  • the contact element 66 of the contact device 59 comprises a first leg 71, a first bending region 65, a second leg 72, a second bending region 68, a third leg 73, and a self-contact region 69.
  • the first leg 71 is preferably connected to the cable receiving area 64.
  • the second leg 72 is preferably connected to the first leg via the first bending region 65. In this case, the second leg 72 is pivotable relative to the first leg 71 through the first bending region 65 about a first bending axis 67.
  • the first bending region 65 is preferably formed at least partially as a circular arc, in particular, the first bending region 65 may be completely formed as a circular arc.
  • the first bending region 65 is preferably bent by about 90 degrees to about 180 degrees, more preferably about 135 degrees to about 170 degrees, more preferably about 160 degrees to 170 degrees.
  • the third leg 73 is connected to the second leg 72 via the second bending area 68.
  • the third leg 73 is pivotable relative to the second leg 72 about a second bending axis 74.
  • the second bending region 68 is preferably bent by about 135 degrees to about 180 degrees, more preferably 150 degrees to about 170 degrees.
  • the self-contact region 69 connects.
  • the self-contact region 69 is preferably shown bent, wherein the bending angle is preferably about 45 degrees to about 90 degrees.
  • the self-contact region 69 is designed, in particular in an actuation position of the connector 5, to contact the first limb 71 and / or the bending region 65 at least in regions. Since the contact element 66 is formed as a resilient contact element, a distinction is made between a rest position and an actuation position.
  • the connector 5 In the rest position, the connector 5 is not disposed on the surface 100, whereby, in particular, no force applied by the surface 100 acts on the contact element 66.
  • the connector 5 is configured to be disposed on the surface 100 along the mounting direction M. Therefore, the contact member 66 is adapted to be operated against the mounting direction M.
  • the contact element 66 By applying a force against the mounting direction M on the contact element 66, in particular the second leg 72 and / or the second bending portion 68, the contact element 66 is deformed substantially elastically and can be transferred from the Oxford the actuation position. In the actuation position that contacts the contact element 66 itself.
  • the transition from the rest to the actuation position takes place before or during the insertion of the connector 5 into the connector holder 2.
  • the transition can be made prior to insertion by the connector by a substantially linear displacement along the mounting direction M is first placed on the surface 100 and thereafter along the insertion direction E1 in the connector holder 2, in particular in the first complementary locking device 30, is introduced.
  • the insertion and the actuation substantially simultaneously occur when the insertion movement of the connector 5 is a pivoting or tilting movement, so that the mounting direction is not constant, but represents a Tangentsschar on a circular arc.
  • the mounting direction M may coincide with the insertion direction E2, so that the insertion of the connector 5 in the connector holder 2, in particular in the second complementary locking device 40, and the arrangement of the connector 5 to the surface 100 may be substantially simultaneously.
  • the self-contact region 69 may contact the first leg 71 and / or the bending region 65 in the rest position. Preferably, however, in the rest position, the self-contact region 69 will not contact the first limb 71 and the first bending region 65, but only electrically contact the first limb 71 and / or the first bending region 65 in the actuation position.
  • the actuating position is characterized in that the second leg 72 is pivoted about the first bending axis 67, so that the second leg 72 and the second bending portion 68 are at least partially displaced against the mounting direction M.
  • the self-contact region 69 is electrically contacted in the actuation position with the first leg 71 and / or the first bending region 65.
  • the at least partially displacement of the contact element 66 against the mounting direction M is effected by an elastic deformation of the contact element 66.
  • the electrical contact element 66 has two elastic modules, so that during the deformation or displacement, ie during the transition from the rest position to the actuation position , the deformation or displacement counteracting reaction force of the electrical contact element is determined by two different spring constants.
  • the elastic modulus (or spring constant) may be smaller than the elastic modulus upon reaching the actuation position at the beginning of the deformation.
  • the elastic modulus of the contact element 66 is at the beginning of the deformation substantially by the Rigidity of the bending area 65 determined.
  • the self-contact region 69 contacts the first leg 71 and / or the first bending region 65 electrically and / or in particular also mechanically, as a result of which the elastic modulus increases, and in particular also on the rigidity of the second bending region 68 and the stiffness of the third leg 73 is dependent.
  • a high contact force between the contact element 66 and the contact region 110 of the surface 100 in the arranged state is achieved by the increased elastic modulus.
  • a high contact reliability is ensured by the high contact force.
  • the connector and thus the contact between the contact element and the contact area of the surface is subjected to high accelerations, for example strong mechanical vibrations when used as contact between the on-board electrical system and the rear window heater of a motor vehicle, the electrical contact is ensured by this embodiment of the connector 5 produced.
  • the contact resistance between the contact region 110 of the surface 100 and the contact device 59 remains low and constant. Therefore, this connector system 9 is also particularly suitable for connecting antennas, which are arranged in or on a window of a motor vehicle, to the corresponding radio receiver or navigation system, since substantially no vibration-induced impedance variations occur.
  • the heat generation due to electrically generated resistance heat is kept small by a better distribution of the current flow, since the current flow is distributed over a large area or on a plurality of conductive elements.
  • FIGS. 3 to 5 show the contact means 59 in a configuration such that an electrical cable 8 is connected to a plurality of contact elements 66. It is also possible that a plurality of electrical conductors are connected to a plurality of electrical contact elements 66. These contact elements 66 are then designed accordingly to contact different contact areas of the area 100. The individual contact elements can be electrically isolated from each other. Accordingly, the electrical conductors can electrically from each other
