Abstract
A contact element has an improved press in zone which is formed by two leg members extending substantially parallel to one another with an interconnecting web. The improvement is that the web is broken up into portions with adjacent portions having curvatures that extend in opposite directions to increase the strength of the press in zone and provides an optimally uniform, symmetrical pressure distribution between a bore wall and the press in zone of the contact element when the press in zone is plugged into a bore of a printed circuit board.
