Metallic contact element for electrical terminal for connecting electrical conductor, has embossing part provided in region of gap root that forms end of gap, where gap is formed between contact base and leaf spring

摘要

The element (4) has a contact base (11) comprising a side wall (19) along a bending line (17). A leaf spring comprises a tongue-like part formed from a flat metal part, where the tongue-like part is bent from a plane of the flat meal part such that a free end of the leaf spring forms a clamping edge that is directed against electrical conductors. A gap (13) is formed between the contact base and the leaf spring. An embossing part (22) is provided in a region of a gap root (13a) that forms an end of the gap. An independent claim is also included for a method for manufacturing a contact member for an electrical terminal.
