Press-fit pin for electrical contacts made from wire material

摘要

The invention relates to a press-fit pin (1) made from wire material for electrical contacts, in particular plug-in connectors. The invention also relates to a method for producing a press-fit pin (1) made from wire material for electrical contacts, in particular plug-in contacts. When using press-fit pins (1) made from wire material the problem of the tips (23) of the press-fit pins (1) being damaged by the press-fit tool has previously occurred. To be able to support a tool on press-fit pins (1) made from wire material without the tips (23) being damaged the press-fit pin (1) made from wire material is provided according to the invention with a shoulder element (3).
