A spring contact for an electrical plug connection, which at one end has at least two opposing spring-elastic contact legs for receiving a counterpart contact that can be inserted between the two contact legs in an insertion direction along a central longitudinal axis of the spring contact. The outsides of the contact legs oriented away from the central longitudinal axis are each engaged by respective spring legs which press the respective opposing contact legs toward each other perpendicular to the central longitudinal axis and, when a counterpart contact is inserted, exert a respective contact pressure on the latter. A plug connection can be equipped with at least one spring contact of this invention. A plug connection of this invention can be used between a power tool and a rechargeable battery.
