Abstract
A contact spring connector that contains a holding strip, from which a contact spring leaf and a clamping leaf alternatingly extend in rows. A contact spring leaf has a contact leg, which is spread away from the holding strip and is connected with the holding strip via a cap area. A clamping leaf has a clamping leg connected with the holding strip by spring bands and from which a clamping element is spread away from between the spring bands. The decoupling of the contact spring leaf from the clamping leaf in particular results in ruggedness in respect to mechanical effects.
