Abstract
A contact element for an electrical plug includes a base and a spring element deflectable towards and/or away from the base. The spring element is laterally limited by a first side flank and a second side flank. The spring element has a spring base at an end of the spring element connected to the base. The spring element extends away from the spring base in a longitudinal direction. The first side flank is closer to the base than the second side flank and the second side flank faces away from the first side flank. The first side flank has a first length and the second side flank has a second length. A ratio of the second length to the first length is greater than or equal to 0.5.
