Abstract
The present invention concerns an electrical socket contact (1) with a base part (2) and two contact spring arms (7) integrated on the base part. The socket contact also has a guide rail (8) which is integrated on the base part in an offset position in relation to the spring arms (7) and which on the introduction of a contact pin of a complementary plug guides and centres the said contact pin.

An electrical socket contact (1) with
- a box-shaped base part (2) with four side walls,
- a rear connection part (3) for receiving a conductor wire,
- at least two opposed contact spring arms (7) integrated on the base part (2) on two side walls which are arranged over part lengths at a distance from one another bent towards one other and bent back at their free ends, characterised by at least one guide rail (8) which is offset in relation to the spring arms (7) and integrated on a periphery of the base part (2) and whose free end extends in the direction of the free end of the contact spring arms (7), wherein said free end of said guide rail is located proximate to contact faces of said contact spring arms.
