Abstract
A contacting device for bringing an electrical conductor into contact with an electrical conductor path includes a housing having a first opening for inserting the electrical conductor into a cavity in the housing and a second opening for inserting the electrical conductor path into the cavity in the housing, and a bow collector including a first portion, which is arranged in the cavity in the housing, and a second portion. The bow collector is designed such that the electrical conductor can be pressed against the electrical conductor path by the first portion of the bow collector after the electrical conductor and electrical conductor path have been inserted into the cavity in the housing, as a result of which the electrical conductor is retained on the electrical conductor path in a clamping position so as to be in contact with the electrical conductor path.
