  • the metallic body which consists in particular of solid metal, may for example have a cuboid or a cylindrical shape. But in principle it can also have a polygonal shape.
  • the contact elements in the form of the contact pins and the Einpressköntaktele- elements are arranged in the sense of high stability and optimum current conductivity in particular as evenly distributed as possible on the underside of the metallic body.
  • the crimp connection can be designed purely in principle in the most diverse ways.

On its one side facing a printed circuit board 200 (FIGS. 4 to 6), the metallic body 100 has contact elements 110, 120. On its other side facing away from the printed circuit board 200, a connecting element for an electrical conductor is arranged, which according to the invention is designed as a crimp sleeve 140, which is also referred to below as a crimp tube.
  • the crimp tube 140 is driven into the metallic body 100 during manufacture of the high current contact element and held in the body 100 by interference fit.
  • the crimp tube can have a smooth surface or knurling in the area of the press fit. Knurling has the advantage that in this way tolerance fluctuations can be compensated for and a secure hold in the body 100 after the press fit is ensured.

  • a further embodiment of a high-current contact element according to the invention differs from the high-current contact element described above in connection with FIGS. 1 to 6 in that the crimp tube 140 is not fixed in the metallic body 100 by press fit, but instead is integrally connected to the metallic body 100.
  • the crimping tube 140 is thus manufactured in a manufacturing step together with the metallic body 100.
  • the high-current contact element illustrated in FIGS. 7 to 9 moreover has only press-fit contact elements 110 with a flexible press-fit zone, in contrast to the high-current contact element described above in connection with FIGS. 1 to 6.
