Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0352871A2] A box-like formed spring in miniature form having a conductor wire connection part and a contact part designed as a flat fork-type spring, the flat fork-type spring having a U-shaped spring arm base with a bottom and two side walls, a spring arm (7) being attached, extending forwards, on each side wall, and these spring arms (7), being bent towards each other beginning from the side walls up to a contact line and diverge again from the contact line for forming a locating funnel, is to be designed in such a way that its contact point lies in the region of the plug opening and that an optimum spring action of the spring arms and a simple manufacture is ensured. This is achieved in that a box-shaped over-spring is held positively on the flat fork-type spring, and that, in the longitudinal edge region of the box form of the over-spring, there are cut-outs which extend backwards from a box web (25) arranged in the front region of the box form and form, together with transversely extending cross sections, over-spring arms (26) extending forwards in a tongue-shaped fashion on the side walls of the over-spring, which are inwardly bent towards one another and rest on the fork-type spring arms (7). <IMAGE>
