Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2017922A2] The contact has two elastic spring-loaded contact members (10a, 10b) on one end (A) of the contact for receiving a counter contact (14), where the contact members are arranged opposite to one another. The counter contact is inserted in a plug-in direction (E) along a middle longitudinal axis (M) of the spring between both the contact members. One of the spring legs (16a, 16b) is engaged on an outer side of the contact members, where the outer side is turned away from the middle longitudinal axis. The spring legs press the contact members in a direction perpendicular to the middle longitudinal axis and exert a contact pressure on the counter contact. An independent claim is also included for a plug connector with a spring contact.
