Electric contact, in particular flat contact or bifurcated contact

A method for making an electrical contact having a first conductive element, having an electrical connection element for contacting of the first conductive element and configured for contacting of a second conductive element which can be supplied and having at least one holding member for holding the electrical connection element on the first conductive element, wherein the first conductive element has at least one incision in a surface facing toward the second conductive element which can be supplied, wherein the electrical connection element has at least one frontmost and one rearmost positioning section for positioning in an assigned holding groove of the incision of the first conductive element and a contact section for contact with the second conductive element which can be supplied outside the incision,

• wherein one to four holding members are provided, each of which has a greater height than a height of the holding groove(s) of the incision assigned to them,
• wherein at least one holding member is positioned at or within a predetermined distance in front of the frontmost positioning section of the electrical connection element in one of the holding grooves, and
• either wherein at least one holding member is positioned at or up to a predetermined distance behind the rearmost positioning section of the electrical connection element in one of the holding grooves, or
• wherein one of the holding grooves is a blind hole groove having a rear wall and wherein the rearmost positioning section of the electrical connection element is positioned at or within a predetermined distance in front of the rear wall of the blind hole groove in this blind hole groove,
• wherein the method comprises method steps of supplying the positioning section or sections of the electrical connection element for contact with the first conductive element into the incision at a predetermined distance from side edges of the first conductive element, providing at least one holding member having a greater height than the height of the holding groove(s) of the incision assigned to it, positioning the at least one holding member at or within a predetermined distance in front of the first positioning section of the electrical connection element in one of the holding grooves and either positioning at least one holding member at or up to a predetermined distance behind the rearmost positioning section in one of the holding grooves of the electrical connection element or positioning the rearmost positioning section of the electrical connection element at or within a predetermined distance from the rear wall of the blind hole groove in this blind hole groove.
