Abstract
A press-in contact and a press-in tool for connecting an electronic component to a printed circuit board, the press-in contact of the electronic component being pressed into a contact opening of the printed circuit board by the press-in tool. Also a method for producing a press-in contact. The press-in contact includes at least one guide region which can be received in a guide contour of the press-in tool in a position-fixing manner. The maximum length of the guide region is a multiple of the maximum width or is substantially equal to or only slightly shorter than the maximum width and/or the guide region is highly rigid in the press-in direction (z direction) and flexible in the other directions (x/y directions). The method according to the invention is characterized in that contiguous, interlinked contours of the press-in contacts, which contours are produced as a ribbon or band, are supplied to a separating station and are separated at predetermined separation points into individual press-in contacts.
