Electrosurgical instrument and method for manufacturing thereof

An electrosurgical instrument (10), comprising:

• a first branch (11),
• a second branch (12) that comprises a support pin (24) defining pivot axis (S) at which the first branch (11) is pivotably supported,
• an electric connection device (29) for an external electric connection (30), wherein the electric connection device (29) is electrically connected with a first tissue contact surface (17) of the first branch (11) via a first conductor (31) and is electrically connected with a second tissue contact surface (18) of the second branch (12) via a second conductor (32),
• wherein the second conductor (32) is integrally formed and comprises a contact section (44) with at least one contact part (45) at its distal end (43), wherein the at least one contact part (45) abuts against an outer surface of an electrical conductive area of the support pin (24), such that an electrical rotation connection is established, and
• wherein the contact section (44) comprises at least one holding part (48) elastically biased toward the support pin (24), wherein one contact part (45) or multiple contact parts (45) of the at least one contact part (45) are arranged at the at least one holding part (48).
