Abstract
An electrical press-in contact element with at least one press-in section, which extends in a direction of extension from a root area, in which the press-in section is connected with a contact body, up to a free end, and which has a middle zone flanked on either side by a respective edge zone from the root area up to the free end, wherein the edge zones form contact surfaces facing away from each other that, once the press-in section has been inserted into a press-in opening, for example of a circuit board, abut against the wall of the press-in opening. In order to improve the stability and contact reliability, it is provided that the edge zones are bent away from the middle zone around a bending line, so that the press-in section has a U- or C-shaped cross section. The edge zones form webs that project from the middle zone.
