Abstract
An electrical contact for mating with a mating contact includes an aluminum body extending along a longitudinal axis and formed of an aluminum or an aluminum alloy, a contact zone disposed on a surface of the aluminum body and adapted to be electrically connected to a mating contact, and a contact spring connected to the aluminum body and having a contact region contacting the mating contact. The aluminum body has a connecting portion adapted to be connected to an aluminum conductor. The contact zone is formed from a material that is more creep-resistant than the aluminum body. The contact spring at least partially rests on the contact zone and is formed from a material that is harder than the aluminum body.
