Abstract (en)

The invention relates to a socket contact element (1) for receiving a pin contact element (4) having a small diameter, in particular a contact pin of a PCMCIA plug element, having an elongated, substantially flat lower basic element (5), from which there extends upwards, at the front narrow side, a first spacing element (6) which has an opening (7) for introducing the pin contact element (4) into the socket contact element (1), in which, behind the first spacing element (6) there is formed a spring tongue (8) which presses the pin contact element (4) introduced from below against a contact area (9) which is formed on the first spacing element (6) above the opening (7), and from which a second spacing element (10) extends upwards behind the spring tongue (8). In order to develop such a socket contact element (1) so that greater clamping forces can be exerted on a pin contact element (4) introduced, the invention proposes that the first spacing element (6) has reinforcing elements. <IMAGE>
