Abstract
In a contact element (10) for electrically connecting two contact pieces (13, 15, 16, 17) opposing each other with contact surfaces (18), wherein the contact element (10) extends along a longitudinal axis (19) and encompasses numerous separate, identical spring-mounted individual elements (12) that are arranged essentially parallel to each other and transverse to the longitudinal axis (19), which are secured to a continuous carrier band (11) extending in the direction of the longitudinal axis (19), and establish the electrical contact between the contact surfaces, a large working area is achieved while keeping current load capacity high by designing the individual elements as interlaced contact bridges (12).
