Abstract
A contact element for connection of an electrical plug-in connector of electrical or electronic system components to an electronic printed board assembly is provided herein. The contact element has two mutually spaced arms, each having a circular free end. The arms are connected to one another via a contact portion. At one end, the contact element has an extension piece for the electrical connection to the printed board assembly. The contact element has a cutout over its entire length. The cutout is narrowed in the contact portion by contact projections projecting into the cutout. A clamping region for the force-fitting and electrically conductive clamping of the plug-in connector is formed. The arms are arranged at an angle with respect to the contact portion in such a way that they extend in two different planes.
