Abstract
The invention relates to an electrical contact for an electrical plug connection, said contact having a flexible element between a connecting region fixed in a housing and a movable contact region. In the electrical contact, the movement of the contact region and/or the deformation of the flexible element in the direction of an axis extending parallel to the plugging direction of the contact region is/are limited. Such contacts are provided in particular in power sockets for motor vehicles for creating an electrical connection to a trailer.
Claims12
An electrical contact having a round cross section, in particular an electrical pin or socket contact, for an electrical plug connection, said electrical contact having a flexible element between a connecting region suitable for fixing in a housing and a movable contact region comprising:
- movement of the contact region and deformation of the flexible element in the direction of an axis parallel to the plugging direction of the contact region is significantly limited or prevented, but movement and deformation in any direction orthogonal to the plugging direction is possible,
- the electrical contact is designed in one piece,
- said flexible element is designed in the form of a coil spring, the cross section of the coil spring being preferably rectangular or
- said flexible element being designed in the form of two orthogonal leaf springs.
