Abstract
A contact pin is disclosed with first and second end portions and a bending portion located therebetween, wherein the cross section of at least one end portion has a preferred bending direction (V) and at least one bending resistance direction (R) and wherein the moment of inertia of the cross section of the at least one end portion is smaller in the preferred bending direction than in the bending resistance direction. If such contact pins are bent perpendicular to their longitudinal extension (Z) by a bending force in one direction (F), then the direction of the actual bending (X) deviates from the direction of the bending force. In order to eliminate this deviation, the difference between the moments of inertia in the preferred bending direction and in the bending resistance direction in the cross section of the bending portion is smaller than in the at least one end portion.
