Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1134760A2] The electrical door contact has 2 cooperating contact parts, each provided with an electrically-conductive contact element (2), for selective closure of an electrical circuit dependent on their relative position. At least one of the contact elements is spring mounted via a truncated conical spring (4), allowing movement in the longitudinal direction when the contact elements are brought into contact with one another.
