An electrical contact element having a contact base, and with a cover-spring provided on and affixed to the contact base. The contact element forms a one-piece punched/bent component of sheet metal with a connector part formed by a crimped member, and with a tubular contact base extending forwardly therefrom. The cover-spring is designed in two pieces, each cover-spring piece having a cover-spring base part. Those base parts are affixed to the contact base opposite each other in relation to the longitudinal midaxis of the contact base.
