A contact element comprises at least two strips and a row of webs, which are arranged between the strips and are contiguous with the strips, wherein the webs are connected resiliently to one of the strips via torsion sections and are inclined with respect to the strips in the deformed state, with the result that a first contact section extends above the strip and a second contact section extends below the strip, wherein the webs each have a front web rim and a rear web rim, which front web rim has a bulge, and which rear web rim has an indentation, which fits or is complementary to the bulge of a directly adjacent web rim, wherein the bulge provides said front contact section, and wherein the webs, to the side of the indentation, have two rear web sections, which provide the second contact section.

Electrical contact elements

A contact element () comprises a spring-elastic carrier strip () extending in a longitudinal direction, and a plurality of web elements () having deformable feet (), () that are disposed on the carrier strip () in the longitudinal carrier strip direction behind each other perpendicular to the carrier strip plane in a resilient manner in order to establish the electric contact between two opposing surfaces. A more compact design is achieved in that the web elements () are configured asymmetrically in relation to a center plane (M) extending in the longitudinal carrier strip direction.
