A contact for an electrical connector is formed of a single piece of stamped and bent sheet metal. The contact includes a body having a base, a limit stop, and a latching tongue connected to the body at the base and having a free end opposite the base. The latching tongue is spaced apart from the limit stop in a resting position of the latching tongue and the latching tongue abuts the limit stop in a deflected position of the latching tongue.

Contact of an electrical connector

The disclosure relates to a flat contact for insertion in a receiving member of a connector in an insertion direction (E), a receiving block for inserting the flat contact, and a connector comprising a receiving block and/or a flat contact. A solution is provided in which the positioning of a flat contact relative to the receiving block is simple and precise. This is achieved by a flat contact for insertion in a receiving member of a connector in an insertion direction (E) comprising a clamping portion having clamping projections which protrude in a width direction (B) and a positioning portion which has at the narrow sides thereof guiding faces which extend parallel with the insertion direction (E), the guiding faces projecting beyond the clamping projections in the width direction (B).
