The contact body (2) has a contact surface (3), on which at least one contact lug (7) is arranged. The contact lug (7) protrudes in sections from the contact surface (3). The present invention further relates to a method for manufacturing such a contact element (1). The invention provides a contact element (1) which ensures good electrical contact, is of simple design, and is quick and easy to manufacture. Therefore, a contact section (6) of the contact body (2) is cut off essentially parallel to the contact surface (3) and the contact lug (7) is formed by the cut-off contact section (6), one end (8) of which contact lug (7) is monolithically connected to the contact body (2). The method according to the invention comprises the following steps for producing such contact elements (1): providing a contact body (2) with a contact surface (3), and cutting off a contact section (6) substantially parallel to the contact surface (3) to produce at least one contact lug (7) on the contact surface (3).

Abstract

A contact device includes a contact housing and a contact element. The contact housing defines a contact receptacle and a latching receptacle opening into the contact receptacle. The contact element includes a contact body arranged within the contact receptacle and extending in a longitudinal direction and adapted to contact a mating contact of a mating contact device, and a latching spring connected to the contact body on a first end and extending along a spring axis into the latching receptacle. The latching spring has a stop inclining obliquely with respect to the spring axis and abutting a face of the latching receptacle and a recess formed through the latching spring at first distance from the stop face.
