CONTACT ELEMENT FOR DIRECTLY ELECTRICALLY CONTACTING CIRCUIT BOARDS

摘要

The invention relates to a contact element (1) for directly electrically contacting a mating contact surface, particularly a contact surface on a circuit board, having a rear connection section (2) for connecting an electrical conductor and having a front contact section (3) with a contact spring (5) that is bent backward in the shape of a U, the free contact tongue thereof extending backward to the connection section (2) and being designed as a contact blade (6) elastically deflected toward the other contact tongue (8) in a normal force direction (7) by contacting a mating contact surface, wherein the contact element (1) according to the invention comprises a stop (10) for limiting the deflection of the contact segment (6) in the normal force direction (7).
