Abstract
Disclosed is an electrical contact element for contacting an electrical strand conductor, wherein the electrical contact element has a connecting side and a plugging side. A splicing element is provided in a connecting sleeve that forms the connecting side so as to electrically contact an electrical strand conductor in a more effective manner. The splicing element is provided for the purpose of separating out the individual strands of the conductor, contacting as large as possible a surface of the individual strands and penetrating the surface of the strands during a squeezing or crimping action. The arrangement provides a reliable, electrical contact of strand conductors in which a surface of the individual strands that is not suitable for being contacted and is poorly conductive is penetrated.
