Abstract
The contact spring has a conventional base spring. A novel detent sleeve is mounted on the base spring. The detent sleeve projects beyond the base spring in the insertion direction and it is formed with a recess or a void in the projecting portion. A detent element inside the housing snaps into the void and locks the detent sleeve and the base spring in the housing.
