Abstract
The invention relates to a contact element arrangement consisting of a shaped sheet metal part, wherein at least two contact elements, which are spaced apart from each other and extend away from a flat base plate of the sheet metal part, are shaped from the sheet metal part and wherein the one contact element forms a substantially cylindrical contacting portion for mounting a pin-shaped counter contact by insertion and wherein the second contact element is formed as a contact spring bent in an S-shape over two bending portions, the contact spring forming a contact point facing away from the base plate.
Claims13
A contact element arrangement comprising:
- a deformed sheet metal part,
- wherein at least first and second contact elements spaced apart from each other are formed from the sheet metal part and extend away from a substantially flat base plate of the sheet metal part,
- wherein the first contact element forms an essentially cylindrical contacting portion for a plug assembly with a counter contact, and
- wherein the second contact element is a generally S-shaped contact spring formed via first and second bending portions each with a change in direction of approximately 180 degrees, and a linear portion between the first and second bending portions, and the second contact element forms a contact point that faces away from the base plate.
