Abstract:
The invention concerns a contact element (10; 10a) for forming an electric connection (1) with a counterpart element (50), wherein the contact element (10; 0a) has at least two sections (12; 12a, 13; 13a) with respectively at least one contact region (21; 21a, 22; 22a, 22b; 23; 23a), wherein the sections (12; 12a, 13; 3a) are constructed to bear against the counterpart element (50) under elastic pre-stress, and wherein the at least two contact regions (21; 21a, 22; 22a, 22b; 23; 23a) are arranged on mutually facing sides of the sections (12; 12a, 13; 13a) with respect to a longitudinal plane (25) of the contact element (10; 10a) defined by two axes (X, Y) arranged perpendicular to each other. According to the invention, at least one third contact region (23; 23a) is provided, which is constructed to bear against the counterpart element (50) under elastic pre-stress, and the at least one third contact region (23; 23a) is arranged at a different position at least relative to one of the other contact regions (21; 21a, 22; 22a, 22b) in regard to an axis (Y) of the longitudinal plane (25) of the contact element (10; 10a).
