Abstract

A flat contact socket comprises a connection section and a socket body connected to the connection section. The connection section has a continuous connection surface electrically connected to an electrical conductor. The socket body has a plurality of extensions connected to the socket body and a flat contact receptacle into which a flat contact can be inserted. The flat contact receptacle extends along a flat contact plane. The extensions are spaced apart from one another adjacent the socket body and extend away from the socket body to form the continuous connection surface.
