A contact device (2, 10) consisting of a helical spring which is adapted for SMD mounting, and which is formed with a base portion (4, 12) adapted to be positioned on and attached to a contact face by soldering or gluing, and with a top portion (6, 14) adapted for handling with a tool (16) preferably associated with an SMD apparatus. This provides the possibility of achieving a generally better and less expensive contacting between components, such as acoustic transducers, batteries or the like and printed circuit boards by means of simple features. Constructing the contact device as a screw or helical spring provides a great safeguard against transfer of laterally directed forces or moments from the contact face which destroy the contact face and/or the solder connection with the printed circuit. A tool (16) for handling the contact device (2, 10) consists of a preferably vacuum-driven mounting pick-up with a central control mandrel (18) which fits internally in the top portion (6, 14) of the contact device (2, 10), and which has an enclosing, ring-shaped recess (20) adapted to the outer shape of the top portion (6, 14) of the contact device (2, 10).
