CONTACT FOR LATCHING IN CONTACT CHAMBER OF PLUG CONNECTION ELEMENT AND PLUG CONNECTION ELEMENT

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide such a contact and a plug connection element that damage of the contact can be prevented.SOLUTION: A contact (10) for latching in a contact chamber of a plug connection element comprises a contact box (13) including an upper wall (16), a lower wall (17) and two opposing sidewalls (18, 19). A primary locking lance (14) protrudes resiliently diagonally outward from the upper wall. To protect the primary locking lance against plastic deformations due to externally attacking forces, at least one of the sidewalls, in an area (23) laterally adjoining the primary locking lance, is configured to protrude outward beyond a plane of the upper wall. An outside edge (22) is bent toward the primary locking lance, so that it overlaps a side edge (26) of the primary locking lance so that it counteracts outward bending of the primary locking lance in a form-locked manner.
