Abstract

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine elektrische Kontaktierung, insbesondere einen Einpressstift (10) zur Kontaktierung einer kreisförmigen Öffnung (40) einer Leiterplatte (38). Der Einpressstift (10) umfasst Federschenkel (14, 16), die durch einen Freiraum (18) voneinander getrennt sind. Der Einpressstift (10) umfasst innerhalb eines Kontaktierungsbereiches (19), der durch die Federschenkel (14, 16) gebildet ist, mehr als zwei Kontaktschneiden (26) zur Darstellung einer Mehrfachkontaktierung (46, 52, 56) in der Öffnung (40).

The invention relates to an electrical contact, in particular a press-fit pin (10) for contacting a circular opening (40) of a printed circuit board (38). The press-fit pin (10) comprises spring legs (14, 16), which are separated from one another by a free space (18). The press-fit pin (10) comprises within a contacting region (19), which is formed by the spring legs (14, 16), more than two contact blades (26) for representing a Mehrfachkontaktierung (46, 52, 56) in the opening (40).
