Abstract
The invention concerns a straight contact and branch contact for the connector part of a plug connector or for a clamp for connecting several electrical conductors. It is proposed to stamp out the contact in one piece from a flat metal strip and to shape it into a U-shaped configuration in such a way that the ends of the contact, on one side, form a flat connector pin and, on the other side, form a cutting-clamp terminal. Leaf springs are freely s from the end pieces of the contact that are bent out from a back part thereof, and these springs are each directed with their free clamp edge toward the back piece, and form there a plug-in terminal.
