Abstract
A contact element (1) for establishing electric contact between two contact pieces (K1, K2) comprises a support strip (2) extending in a longitudinal direction (L) as well as a plurality of contact parts (5, 5a, 5b), each of which has a first contact section (6) for contacting one of the two contact pieces (K1, K2), a second contact section (7) for contacting the other one of the two contact pieces (K2, K1), and a fastening section (8) for securing the contact part (5, 5a, 5b) to the support strip (2).
Claims27
A contact element for establishing electrical contact between two contact pieces, comprising
- a carrier strip that extends in a longitudinal direction, and
- a plurality of contact parts each having at least one first contact section for making contact with one of the two contact pieces, at least one second contact section for making contact with the other of the two contact pieces, and also having at least one fastening section for fastening one of the plurality of contact parts to a fastening spot at the carrier strip,
- wherein a line extends through the carrier strip in the longitudinal direction, and
- wherein the contact parts are situated in relation to the carrier strip in such a way that the contact parts can be pivoted about a pivot line, which pivot line is situated in a manner angularly inclined at an angle of less than 30° in relation to said line.
An arrangement comprising a contact element and also a first contact piece and a second contact piece,
- wherein said contact element comprising a carrier strip that extends in a longitudinal direction, and a plurality of contact parts each having at least one first contact section for making contact with one of the two contact pieces, at least one second contact section for making contact with the other of the two contact pieces, and also having at least one fastening section for fastening the contact part to a fastening spot at the carrier strip, wherein a line extends through the carrier strip in the longitudinal direction,
- wherein the contact parts are situated in relation to the carrier strip in such a way that the contact parts can be pivoted about a pivot line, which pivot line is situated in a manner angularly inclined at an angle of less than 30° in relation to said line, and
- wherein the contact element abuts, by way of its first contact sections, against the first contact piece and, by way of the second contact sections, against the second contact piece.
