Contact element for a plug type connector and arrangement comprising a contact element

摘要

The invention relates to a contact element comprised of an electrically conductive contact material (3), the contact element (1) being constructed so as to be able to be inserted in an insertion direction (E) into a plug type connector and being constructed so as to be able to be fixed in the plug type connector by means of a positive-locking connection (60). In order to provide a contact element (1) which is secured against undesirable removal from the plug type connector and which at the same time can be guided in a non-destructive manner through a housing and/or a seal of the plug type connector, there is provided according to the invention a contact element, wherein the positive-locking connection (60) comprises a catch opening (9) at an upper side (7) of the contact element (1), which opening is delimited in the insertion direction (E) by two guiding faces (21, 21'), and wherein the guiding faces (21, 21') are formed by a reinforced region (V a , V b ), in which the contact material (3) at least partially overlaps itself in at least two layers transversely relative to the insertion direction (E).
