A contact plug for direct electrical contacting of contact surfaces is provided on both sides of a circuit board. The contact plug includes two flexibly interconnected contact carriers, which form, between each other, a plug receptacle for the circuit board and each have at least one contact element extending into the plug receptacle. A spring is provided whose two free spring legs engage over the two contact carriers i the insertion direction of the contact plug and bias them in the direction of each other. A control channel, which is formed between the two contact carriers nd laterally adjacent to the plug receptacle and, in cooperation with a control wedge provided on the circuit board, pivots the two contact carriers open in opposition to the action of the spring upon insertion of the circuit board. A seal seals the two contact carriers in a mating contact plug on the reverse side. The two free spring legs of the springengage over the two contact carriers in the insertion direction of the contact plug. The seal is positioned between the contact carriers and the spring midsection of the spring, the two spring legs extending through the seal and being sealed at the seal.
