In order to provide an electric contact element having a succession of layers comprising a base material, a contact layer and a thin galvanically deposited gold-containing surface layer, which compared with known contact elements can be produced at lower cost, while offering at least equivalent corrosion and wear-resistance properties, it is proposed that the surface layer be backed by a support layer containing a palladium alloy and having a thickness in the order of between 0.05 .mu.m and 0.5 .mu.m.
