The invention relates to a contact system for contacting an aluminium braid () to a contact element () comprising&#x2014;an electrically conducting cable (); &#x2014;the aluminium braid () comprising a plurality of aluminium wires, which is arranged to run at least in sections between a primary isolation () and a secondary isolation () of the electrically conducting cable (); &#x2014;die contact element () which can be pushed onto the electrically conducting cable () having an outer sleeve () and an inner sleeve () which can be inserted therein. To achieve a contact system which makes possible, in a simple fashion, a reliable contacting of an aluminium braid to a contact element without additional soldering systems being required, according to the invention the inner sleeve () has a first contact surface () and the outer sleeve () has a second contact surface (), wherein each contact surface () has areas of different size of cross-section and the contact surfaces () are designed in such a manner that the aluminium braid () is clamped in a contact position by the inner sleeve () being pushed axially inside the outer sleeve () and contact is made with the contact element ().
