Abstract (en)

A device for contacting a substrate, preferably an electrical conductor, with spring parts that are in contact with the substrate at a plurality of points. Substrates of different diameters can be contacted without problem and for electrical conductors a high HF-impermeability is guaranteed. The device comprises at least one helical spring (5) arranged substantially annularly in a housing (1), with the helical windings (9) of the spring inclined at an angle alpha to the radial plane (10) perpendicular to the contact axis (11) When different sized substrates are inserted the windings turn, changing the angle alpha . This requires little force. Also the spacing of adjacent helical windings is maintained so that for electrical conductor substrates the same high HF impermeability is guaranteed for all conductor diameters.
