METHOD FOR PRODUCING PIN-SHAPED CONTACT ELEMENTS AND CONTACT ELEMENT

摘要

The invention relates to a method for producing pin-shaped contact elements (10), in which a press-in section (11) is formed by means of an embossing step into a wire (1) with a round cross section at one end of the contact element (10), and wherein, spaced apart from the press-in section (11), a holding region (12) is formed which protrudes transversely to the longitudinal extent of the wire (1) over the cross section in the region of the round wire (1). The invention provides for the holding region (12) to be formed by a stamping step in an embossing region (24) of the wire (1), the embossing region (24) at the same time forming an asymmetrical press-in section (11).
