Abstract
An electrical contact adapted for plugging connection, comprising a pair of contact spring arms and an outer back-up spring having a pair of outer back-up spring arms disposed on the outside of the contact spring arms. For reducing the insertion force for a tab contact insertable into contact, the two outer back-up spring arms are held by a spacing means at such a minimum spacing from each other that the contact spring arms come into abutment with the respectively associated outer back-up spring arm only after having been spread apart to a predetermined distance from each other.
