Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2014111416A1] The invention relates to a contact element (1) for repeated, releasable contacting of a counter-contact element in a contact direction (4), a relay having a contact element (1) and a method for producing a contact element (1). An object of the present invention is to provide a cost-effective contact element which is particularly suitable for use in relays having force-guided contacts ("safety relays") or other safety-relevant components. Another object of the invention is to provide a method for producing such a contact element. The object is achieved with a contact element (1) in which a base portion (2) and a contact portion (3) are connected to each other in a positive-locking manner. A method according to the invention for producing such a contact element (1) comprises the steps of placing (90) a positive-locking element (50, 50d) of a first portion (93) on a second portion (92) and producing a positive-locking connection between the first portion (93) and the second portion (92).
