ELEMENT OF ARREST OF A CONTACT WITH SUBSTANCE

摘要

An electrical contact for plugging into a contact cavity of a plug-in connector. The electrical contact includes an elongated housing extending in the plug-in direction, and an elongated catch element for latching the contact in the contact cavity. The catch element is fixed in place on the housing by a first end. By a first section, the catch element elastically and obliquely projects from the housing in an outward direction, counter to the plug-in direction, and transitions from a second, self-supporting end of the catch element to a second section of the catch element, which is bent inwardly in the direction of the housing. The second section has a rear-side area whose surface normal extends essentially counter to the plug-in direction. A projection is situated on the rear-side area projecting from the rear-side area beyond a maximum longitudinal extension of the rear-side area, when viewed counter to the plug-in direction.
